The old saying that "There la
nothing new under the sun" is in a
position to be disproved in the
Crater Lake national park,' whore
a strange fish story came to light
this week. Two enthusiastic fol
lowers of l.aak 'Walton were whip
ping MunAon creek for elusive
trout. One lino floated under some
logs In tho stream over which tho
water gurgled and rippled. The
well known tug on the lino gavo
evidence of a bite, but the usual
fisherman's joy "turned to amaze
ment when the lino straightened,
not In the water, but high in tho
air, a bird attached to the end.
With a snap tho lino returned to
the astonished anglers and the bird
continued its flight. A water ousel,,
well known for its feeding habits i
In the water, noted the baft as It
stood on a log and then darted
through tho water and seized tho
tidbit.

spent at the Dlnkens ranch they
saw two rattlesnakes, one of which I
was killed, and on tho second day,
they saw quite a number of deer
that had come down to the low

day had sprung into the front
ranks of California's heavyweights
through his sensational 10-round
victory hero last night over Ar
mand Emanuel, San Francisco barrister-boxer.
Fighting an- even battle up to
the fifth round against his heavily
favored opponent, Morro pene
trated Emanuel's defense in the
half-way round to take a lead
that was increased steadily as the
fight went on, Smashing lefts
and rights to the head closed one
of Emanuel's eyes In the fifth and
ot the final bell the San" Fran-j
clscan was In a bad way. Ring-i
sldcrs opined only Morro's com- j
parativo inexperience saved Eman-,
uel from a knockout. The victor
had fought professionally only
once before, when ho won an easy
doclslon over Tony Stabineau, vet
eran Hollywood trial horse.
Morro'p victory was a clean-
cut surprise. Emanuel had been'
picked to easily defeat his green j
opponent and only the veteran,
Jeffries, had any hopes his pro
tege would make, a good showing.
The youngstpr plainly showed the
careful coaching he has received
from Jeffries, hitting well with'
both hands and fighting a heady1
battle. He waited patiently for
openings and moved quickly to thej
attack when they were apparent.
