Newspaper Page TextMEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD- OREGONT, MONDAY. SEPTEMBER 16. 1940. PAGE TWO WHALE OF STORY TOLD BY LOCAL FISHING PARTY Four fishermen and their guide got the fright of their lives yesterday when a whale took two of their plugs and for a time seemed bent on taking them on long voyage. In the 16-foot, out-board mo tored boat were Walter Young, Delbert Bergman and Carl Meyer of Mcdlord, Leonard Hall of Ashland and Floyd Clark, the Biiide. of Brookings. Using plugs the men were fishing for cod or halibut three miles off the coast at Brookings. They were think ing how placid everything was when suddenly something took Bergman and Meyer's plugs and yanked the boat half-way around with a terrific jerkj. Coming to their senses with Jolt, the men saw they had caught onto a whale. The huge crecturc raced out 130 feet, gave a leap out of the water and with a quick twist broke the lines. The fishermen had a movie camera to record unusual events during their trip, but they did not stop to get any shots of the whale. They were afraid it would return and upset the boat. 60 they headed for shore as fast as the motor would chug. Clark estimated the whale at 10 to 35 tons. Frank. Driscoll, 33, waived preliminary hearing in Justice of the peace court this morning on a city police charge of fel ony and was bound over to the grand Jury under $500 bail.
