Three of Parr’s best men who were in the crowd, after fishing all day and catching nothing, said they would go up to Thayer and if they said anything to them they would clean up the town. But it seems as they drew closer |Q the station their courage failed them, for they steered clear of the town and took a bee-line for Rose Lawn, to take the train for home, but unfortunately the train passed them before they got there, so the had to “hoof it” borne, we guess. Some of the rest of the crowd narrowly escaped being arrested for fishing; only for the timely arrival of the train they would have got them.
