FISHERMEN LEARN ABOUT HARD WORK AND SUCCESS The fellow who said that hard work brings success wasn't on that fishing 'p wit' three Upper Alton residents recently. In a couple of weeks of fishing, Dr. James A.

McBrien, 2028 Washingion cast doubt on the hard work theory. Others in the fishing party Ontario were George i Berry, 3109 Edwards and Dr. John McBrien, 1814 Jersey St. Their families were with them, but they have little to do with this argument leisure over industry. Berry got off to a fast start in A fishing derby which everyone knew ew was going to start, although nobody mentioned it openly, He caught a 12-pound lake trout that gave the two 11cBriens something to shoot at.

They decided that the really big ones were over the next hill. So they got a canoe, a guide and por-. taged to another lake. Neither of the McBriens could top Berry's 12. pounder.

So they pulled stakes and portaged to the next lake. After about three such moves, Dr. James McBrien decided that the fishing contest was demanding too much in physical expense. One morning he waved on Berry and his brother, John McBrien, as they started out with the guide. He said he'd fish the lake where their cottage was.

James McBrien strolled down to the water edge later and he stood fishing, leisurely. In a little while he got a strike. After the fight WAS over he had a 20-pound lake trout. That night when the wandering woodsmen came home James Me. Brien showed them his catch.

Instead of remaining on the home lake to fish, they unaccountably got excited enough to hire an extra guide for their trip still deeper into the wilderness the next day. A.s time ran short and it was getting near the day to go home, the wilderness wanderers penetrated deeper into the forest, in search of more lakes. It was hard work, and success should have been around the next corner, but they never made it. Even stuffing one of their larger trouts with rocks did not bring it up to the prize weight of James McBrien's catch. They called it quits and came horne, wondering a little about the rewards of hard work and por- tages.

I Seine Stolen Near Grafton Is Recovered Herman Kirchner and Deputy Sheriff Robert Flynn were called to Grafton Thursday evening to investigate the finding of a stolen net belonging to Charles Williams of Grafton. The seine was stolen several months ago from Williams and was found stretched for drying at the rear of a clubhouse in the Graham Hollow area Thursday by a Grafton resident who knew the description of the net taken from Williams.

The finder related his information to liams and the latter went to the Graham Hollow area and established the identity of the seine. The party owning the clubhouse where the seine was. located is a non-resident and was absent from the premises at the time the investigation was made. Williams reported to Sheriff Kirchner that he had the seine marked and could identify it as one belonging to him. Commercial fishermen in the Grafton vicinity have their own markings for seines and nets used in their business and keep a register of their brands and marking for evidence in case their property is lifted by river thieves.

Sheriff Kirchner stated that he had made additional checkups on several situations in the Grafton area including the one regarding the finding of a note in a bottle purported to have been written by a girl held captive in A shack somewhere on a river bank in the Grafton vicinity. The note first came into pussession of Alton police after it was found in the river near Grafton.
