BIG FISH. 
A. R. Merrick was the recipient yesterday of 
a novel gift in the shape of a mammoth trout, 
one of the biggest rainbow trout ever pulled 
out of Michigan waters. It weighed nine 
pounds and three ounces arid rrieasured 29 inches 
from tip to tip. The fish was caught and sent 
to Mr. Merrick by a friend at Baldwin, J. J. 
Grey, who secured it in the Pere Marquette 
River near that point. Mr. Merrick has 
arranged with Peter Lepp to mount it and will 
have it on exhibition at nis office for a time. 
Sixteen pounds of trout in two pieces is some 
trout, and both were taken from Baldwin 
Creek. Elmer Laycock landed a rainbow 27 
inches long weighing 7 pounds on Monday. 
John Gray got the second, a 9-pound German 
brown. It had become caught in the apron of 
the dam where it had rushed to free itself of 
lamper eels and wedged into a trough from 
which it could not back out. The fish was dead 
when Mr. Gray found it. It was sent to Mr. 
Merrick of the P. M. Railway at Saginaw. 
Charles Cavanaugh, however, holds the bun. 
Wednesday he brought in a native rainbow trout 
30 inches long weighing just a trifle over 11 
pounds. Put into a washtub, he had to be bent 
to conform with its sides. It is the prize beauty 
of the year.—Saginaw (Mich.) Herald. 
OLD YARN—NEW SETTING. 
While a small boy was fishing one Sunday 
morning he accidentally lost his foothold and , 
tumbled into the creek. 
As an old man on the bank was helping him 
out he said; 
“How did you come to fall in the river, my , 
little man ?” 
“I didn’t come to fall in the river. I came to | 
fish,” replied the boy.
