This particnlar flounder was caught
In Flint river opposite this oity today.
Some hoys were fishing for minnows
when the Rtranger took the bait on one
of the hooks. The boys did not know
what they had caught, and carried it to
Mr. Tift, who reoognized it at once.
The fish is about bs large as a ten-year-
old boy's hand, and is, without question,
a genuine flounder. It is being kept in
fresh water, and is still alive. So far as
the Herald's information goes, this is
the first instance of a genuine flounder
being caught in a fresh water stream
hundreds of milos from the sea.
