Had Fine Camping Trip And Caught Many Fine Fish.

The Nim Hopkins’ quartette of fishermen returned Thursday evening from their tenth annual fall outing on the Kankakee river. They were holding their heads high in the air for they had enjoyed a 'very successful Ashing week. They report catching 17 salmon, weighing from 2 to 10 pounds each; several channel catfish, several goggle-eyes, a number of croppies and oodles of bullheads. They were camped just below the entrance of the Hodge ditch in the Kankakee.
