City Dads to Help Out Patrons of the Water Board Has Photo Taken to Prove Truth of Unique Fish Story Dr c 8. Shepard of thl. city. who. with his family, Is summering at Ile Hoyal, when at home is not regarded as much of a fisherman. Now, however, In writing to somo of his friends hre, he Is reciting tome fish stories that put him at the head of the Ike Walton class. Last week the doctor had occasion to ccme down Into the Eagle rUer country to look at some land that was for sale and on which he had made an offer. To while away tho tlma while waiting for the owner of the land to appear, tho doctor secured a fishing outfit nnd went to work It was slow work until he came to a bridge spanning tha stream. To the doc tor this looked good for loafing. If not for fishing, so he took position on one of the abuttments. He made several casts without results. The next cast, however, brought the results. As the doctor was In the act of reeling his line In, preparatory to making an tther cast, a muskellungc struck at tho lure nnd missed. The fish was going with great force and when It missed the bait, Its momentum was sufficient to I'arry it o .t of the water and ODto the floor of the bridge, three feet above, i Throwing his fishing tackle asdde. the ' doctor made for the fifth and held It down until assistance arrived, and It was gaffed. The fish weighed thirty pounds and was said to have been the largest muskellungc ever caught In Eagle river at this point. To prove his fishing experience. Dr. Shepard had photographs mado of bis catch and Is sending them back home to tils friends. 4'rnuii nnil t'oimh Itemed).
