Rainbow trout in the 10-pound class are becoming common along the Great lakes now but the 12 pounder caught by Mrs. James A. Jindra of 2519 15th St., Two Rivers, sets a first among the women anglers, being the largest reported by a female fisherman this year. Mrs. Jindra was trolling from a boat Monday about a half mile offshore at Two Creeks along with her husband and other members of the family. She hooked the big trout on a Cleo spoon, brought it in about five minutes using a muskie type rod and spincast reel loaded with eight-pound-test line. "But I almost fell out of the boat twice, I was so excited," Mrs. Jindra commented.

Farmer Kills Mad Bull

Geo. Jindra, a farmer residing near the village of Mishicot, had an exciting experience with an ugly bull, last Friday evening. Jindra attempted to get a rope around the bull's neck and lead him to a barn. The bull was ugly and began to chase its owner about the premises. Jindra took refuge in a shed in which machinery was stored and crawled behind some machines. The bull was still after him. Jindra picked up a hammer that was lying on the fllor and threw it at the bull. The hammer hit just the right spot in the bull's head and the ferocious animal toppled over dead. -- Two Rivers Chronicle.
