ing to promise to Abraham, Isaac

blessed with an escape from tiie

The Big Fishery.
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.
