—Let’s Go Fishing— WEATHER MAN PUTS 'JINX' ON STATE ANGLERS Heat. Wind Hurt Sport for Thousands Over Week-End. BY LEFTY LEE Time* FUhlnc Editor Asa general thing, the thousands of anglers who left Saturday for their favorite spots, pepped up with the prospects of three days of reel sport, sadly were disappointed with the results. The weather man pulled a boner when he turned on the heat and an east wind, for the fish quit biting right now when this combination arrived. But. shucks, it would have been some other alibi, if the weather had been ideal, and we all had the benefit of the days in the open, at least. Actual count of the catch taken by the Menges family, and their friends during their two weeks on Lake Freeman was ninety black and silver bass, blue gill, channel cat and crappie. Limit catches were frequent, and a six pound buffalo was bagged. The United Sportsman of Indiana. Incorporated, has shown a healthy Increase in membership, during the past month.

John Sinex took a ten-inch blue gill just below the dam at Broad Ripple Monday. In addition, he also caught seven bass, but luck was against him with these boys, as they all were undersized. Very sorry. John, but The Times fishing contest covers only bass in the large and small mouth class. Well, it's hard to believe, but the proof of the catch is what counts, so Mr. Jack Wendling again will take the palm, this time with a northern pike that weighed eleven pounds and twelve ounces. Wenaiing was fishing Barbee lake with Carl Rusie. In addition to pike, they caught five boss. The Jacks casting fly goes over with bass at Barbee. Every fish taken by the writer and Walt Jones on Labor day failing for this lure. We thought that Joe Waite and Carry Winders were going to Tippecanoe lake to catch bass, but their report showed that red eye predominated. The catch was: Waite, two bass; Winders, one bass and eight red eye. Yes, boys, the medals still are safe. Which reminds us. The medals to oe awarded winners of The Times contest now are on display in the window at the Em-Roe sporting goods store. Drop by and give them the once over. We know this will start you hunting that grandpa bass.

False Teeth Made Issue as Fireman Faces Trial

Delay in Proceedings Is Forced as ‘Store Set’ Confuses Witness. The serio-comic trial of Marion T. Harrison, city fireman, before the board of safety, was continued again today—this time for one week. Harrison is charged with turning in a false alarm on July 24. in front of a barber shop owned by Eli Vickery at Bloyd and Rural streets. The fireman's fight for exoneration reached an hilariously comical stage when Harrison contended he could not wear his false teeth, except when eating, and when key witnesses could not identify positively Harrison without the “store molars.” Today, the board decided to continue the case a week when Vickery was represented as having asked Corporal Joe Thomason of Ft. Beniamin Harrison, second, and Sergeant James Lackey of Ft. Benjamin Harrison, third.

Heller, 624 North Keystone avenue, a civil engineer, who testified that as he was nearing his home, a few doors from Harrison's house, at 6:30 p. m. on that day, he saw Harrison on the porch in front of the house and spoke to him for a moment or two. Roscoe McKinney, assistant fire chief, told the board he came across Harrison on the day of the alarm, some time later, and that at the time, Harrison was wearing his teeth.
