Train No. 46, southbound was held up at Temagami, where buses from North Bay took the passengers on to their destination with the result that they reached the southern terminus of the line at 9.50 p.m., well ahead of the scheduled time of arrival. No one was hurt in the wreck, which occurred about two o'clock on Saturday afternoon, and the cause of the derailment was not immediately learned. The loco- motive and several cars had passed over the spot before the others left the rails. The line was all clear at 6.10 a.m. on Sunday.

The prize fish which measured about the same over-all length as its captor, stretched four feet, one inch from the point of its nose to the tip of its tail. By way of proving that it's not always the best-equipped fisher- man who catches the best fish Donnie's equipment at the time consisted of a pole cut from a wil- low bush and a length of eighteen pound line.
