Four-foot Garfish

Mr. R.R. Stutts caught a very large gar-fish with a net in Black River last Monday night. The net was stretched across the stream just below the bridge at a bend called a "rock hole." The fish was a monster, being over four feet in length and weighing over twenty pounds. It was on exhibition at the Dispensary Tuesday.
