CORNING, N. T., Aug. U.-Charles
Genther of the Corning glass works,
white fishing near Bluff Point on Lake
Keuka, lost his line and a lake trout thit
was on one of the branches of the line.
There were three branches on the line.
From what, he saw of the trout he judged
it weighed 10 pounds
The next day Ben Tieno was fishir.g
near Bluff Point. He hooked a trout,
and whlla landing it noticed a second
hook In its mouth with a line trailing
from It.
Pulling at that lino l.e found there was
a trout at the end of It. He landed tne
second trout and fo-ind that there wjh
still another line oat. Pulling ' at that
line he was again t,u-pritfed, for there
was a trout fast io It. This last Mh
gave him a lively fiin before he land
ed It.
The landing of the three ttout broug.i.
to light a fish line, with three branches
on it that some one had lost. Ounther
went up to the lake when he heard of
it and identified the line as his. He
couldn't swear to the biggest trout as
the one that had stolen his line, but it
was on the branch on which he had
hooked his trout, and it weighed 10
pounds, lie got it. The other two trout
weighed "eight pounds each.
The big trout, fast to Genther's line,
had drawn the branch trolls through the
water and the other tw trout-had each
seized one and been hooked, , Then the
big trout was unwise enough, with the
Genther hook still In its jaw, to strike
at Hen Reno's troll and get that hook in
its jaw also, with the subsequent dis
aster to itself and the two trout that
were fast on the other hooks.
