tunity to secure one deer.

18-POUND TROUT CAUGHT IN PARK. 
Livingston. Mont., July 24.—The largest trout 
ever caught in this part of the country, and prob¬ 
ably in the state, was caught in Lake Shoshone, 
in Yellowstone National park, by Fred Dergen- 
dorf. The fish weighed eighteen pounds and 
was landed after a struggle of one and one-half 
hours. 
It was caught with a line, rod and spinner 
and about a mile from shore. It was a lake 
trout and it is estimated that it is 24 years old, 
the first fish being planted in this lake on May 
13, 1890. At that time 30,000 lake trout were 
planted there, and it is estimated that at present 
there are more than a million in the lake. 
Last year a sixteen-pound trout was caught 
in the Yellowstone river, near the city, and until 
now that was the record for this part of the 
state.
