Jasper County Democrat, Volume 18, Number 35, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 31 July 1915 — Dogfish and Carp Taking to the Tall Timber. [ARTICLE]

Dogfish and Carp Taking to the Tall Timber.

Trustee Kolhoff of Jordan tp., was in town Wednesday and said that one of the J. J. Lawler meadows was covered over with water to the depth of about a foot from the overflow of the river and that the dog fish would stand up on their tSITs'“ and bark of evenings, making the nights hideous. At any rate, there are many goodsized fish out in the fields and they may be seen jumping out of the water, but it would be almost as much as one’s life is worth to go out and attempt to catch any of them, for the mosquitos are about the worst ever known here. People in Rensselaer, even, find it difficult to sit on their porches in the evening because of the swarms of mosquitos that infest all parts of town, owing to the continued wet weather.
