In accordance with advertise ment the Kirkland millpond was the scene of a big fishery last Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The water had been let off and by Thursday noon Mr. Elie Lott, the promoter, had sold SB7O worth of tickets and when the gun shot was heard five hundred and eighty people plunged into the water with every conceivable implement or means for catching fish, The Tribune learns that many of those participating was disap pointed they caught no fish, i They either did not know' how to catch them or tbeir was none there. There were some who caught more than they wanted but held their surplus at unreason able prices. Some went back the second day but caught no fish worth while, and thus ended the fishery. How ever, the majority of those pur chasing tickets caught a satisfac tory amount of fish. It is said the trouble was the water was too high and the swift stream of the creek caused the fish to go up stream and out of the pond except those that came down near the mill house.
