Henry Lott, one of our local sports¬ men, tells the following interesting fish story, and vouches for its being true. While fiahing recently, with a pole, he found it necessary to go into his cabin to look at the engine, and a fish caught on the line and pulled it away, carrying the pole over with it, and carrying it from sight. Mr. Lott did not want to lose the pole so ar¬ ranged a drag, and after going around for about 15 minutes eaught the' pole, and when he pulled it in, found an 8-lb. weakfish on the hook at the end of the line.
P. S.—This story came to us over the telephone and we have not seen Mr. Lott, to verify it.

An ex-foreman of a hose company in Freeport said to me Monday night: "I have often wondered who the Chief will be in the big fire that is so often talked of aa doomed to strike oor Main street business section. No matter who he is nor how well he handles hia work, no power on earth coold stop a fire for instance between Pine street and Merrick road, with a hydrant at each street, and the only one between having to be abandoned because of tbe heat, if the fire has gotten any head¬ way or there is any delay in getting in tbe alarm. Tbe Chief in charge ean work his head off, and with excellent jodgment, but saving the section would be an impossibility."
