They Are Adept Fishermen

Newsdealer Harvey Stofflet and Deputy Sheriff Fred Gillen went fishing at Portage lake last Saturday evening. They returned to town with a large catch, so large that they were not able to use the fish themselves, so gave many of them to their friends.

One of the piscatorial specimens is said to have weighed 55 pounds, which took the combined strength of Stofflet and Gillen to bring it to shore. Even when on dry land the fish, it seems, had no desire to have itself brought to the county jail or put on exhibition at Stofflet's Main Street news stand, and it bravely attempted to get back into its element. This was frustrated, however, by Gillen and his companion, who brought the trophy safely to the city along with some fifty other specimens of the finny tribe which were hooked at the same time.
