FISH TAKEN FROM RIVER LOOKS LIKE YOUNG WHALE.

Pulaski County Democrat— A s fish a good deal bigger than most people would suppose ever .existed in the Tippecanoe river was caught Tuesday by Rowe Degner, who had it in town yesterday. ’ It was either a carp or a buffalo —“authorities” differed—and weighed a trifle over forty pounds. It measured forty-two inches from tip to tail, and twenty-three inches “around the waist.”? It was caught in the deep water above the Pulaski dam, and three men were in the water before the fish had been landed.
