FISHING PARTY RETURNS
BUT BIG ONE GOT AWAY

Falls County Party Enjoys Delightful
Outing on Colorado River

         H. O. Barganier of Marlin brings back not so many fish but a true fish story after a delightful outing on the Colorado river.  While running lines, one night--but let Mr. Bargainer tell it.
       "We got several smaller fish and then there a great, big one--indicating its length with a sweep of his right hand from the tips of the fingers of his left hand to slightly above the elbow--but just before we reached, it got away!"
       Other members of the party were Alonzo Barganier and son, James Barganier, of Lott; Prof. Gillespie of Sherman, Joe Turner and Hillary Barganier of Marlin.
       Anyhow, they got plenty of fish for eating purposes and that was what they went for.
