They report that they . accidently ran across a couple or young pien aiso irom town who were "calculating on catching some minnows for a days good hshing, (evidently at some "other place) but for sonio reason they abandoned the said trip and concluded that they would return home and call the result of their mornings work, trout; and they reported that they had caught 150 large trout, and. when in the course of their conversation they aecidentlv let the top- of their basket get opened, thev wero as tonished that such "Sports" . as they claimed to be would have the audacity to call such minnows as they really were-"'nh-e trout" for there was only one in night that would have measured more than two or two and a half inches long The Weston School.
