Aji uniifUut trout story was'

with doubt, but when .Mr. Isaacs ex
hibited 2H fish, all of them more!
(ban 15 inches in length, he received j
a respectful hearing.
'Ilearned from trustworthy author-!
ily, said Mr. Isaacs, "that a num
ber of fine trout had beau placed iu
ill" run about four years atro. Al
though the slream had been fished
refloated I v and by careful experts,
f' W of the-e trout had been CHiiffbt.
Indeed, it was feared hy oine that
the fih had all died.

ftt-ed 1o ri-e to the ordinary flies,

.Judge Kelly.

"For a time the Iroul lived iu the

of the fish were dying daily, ami the

"In this emeritrfM'V in-tiuct came to
Ihe rescue. The large-t ami -trong-"t

into the side of ihe mountain. As
fa-it as Ihe teeth of one fish- won
out hi place was laken by fl f re-h
fish, nnd the work of drilling never
stopped.
"Twenty fet jn the mountain, part
of it through rock, the fish struck
a large cold spring. Thtring the rest
of the year lhi spring supplied the
creek nnd saved te lives of thou
