Ed. Coleman and Foren MiMcr went fishing day before Tuesday and although the catch of fish was not the largest in the world, the storv ol their adventures would fill large size volume. The harrowing experinec of trying to row through a sand bar has had the effect of turning Coleman's once angelic disposition into thai of a misanthrope with no confidence in human nature, and especially in Miller. Miller claims that what he did was in the nature o! a Christian duiv, and that ihe lavish use of water is the
