WITHIN A TAXI RIDE OF DOWNTOWN Indianapolis a four and a half foot spoonbill catfish, which was said to weigh more than 60 pounds, came to rather an ignoble end.

The big spoonbill had gotten. into shallow water and was thrashing around on his Side, half out of water. 2 » EJ WITH THE AID OF Mrs. Cliff, he hauled the fish out. They measured it and the fish was four and a half feet from the tip of his bill to tail and very fat, Mrs. Cliff said. She said the bill was about two feet long. After the fish was gutted, Mrs.
Cliff said, they cut it in half and
weighed each half on’a small scales, 60 pounds, she said.
Proof Enough
Employees of the American Aggregate Corp., who saw the fish, said the weight and measurement figures were true. Unfortunately, Mrs, Cliff said, when the fish was cooked it was too strong to be edible. She said her husband kept the head of the fish for several days but it began to spoil and he threw it away. » » o THE CONSERVATION DEPARTMENT said that it was not at all unusual for spoonbills. to _grow to a size of 100 pounds, but
