It Kained Pishes.

Mr. Wiley J. Bronson, of Coal Creek township, was in the city Wednesday telling a wonderful story. Said he: 'I have often heard of it raining fishes but I took no stock in such fish stories until the other day. Sunday night it rained like blue blazes out in Coal Creek and on Monday morning the ground was covered in many places with fish. Some were four or five inches long and several families up there have had fried fish ever since. The fish were mostly suckers and bass but Ira Stout who is just home from Europe says that some of them are herring from the big salt pond. This morning 1 found several likely looking fish that were still alive and gasping. This may sound strange but its gospel true."
