5 WINNETKA TALK September 15, 1928 ~~ bh Whale of a Fish Story, With Evidence EW, INDEED, have been the fish stories related about the round table at Chambers' Cafe, since the recent trout dinner at which R. E. Crosby and G. W. McKendry were hosts to about a dozen of their Winnetka friends. Stories of phenomenal catches have been related here so often, and always with varying details, that the relators, (not realtors) themselves, had really come to believe them. Crosby & McKendry sell real estate, but fishing is one of their choice diversions, and recently they took time off to indulge in their favorite sport. They were accompanied by Clarence Cole, of Chicago, with whem, for five days they fished the waters of the Wolf and Thunder rivers, far up in the wilds of Wis- consin, where brook and rainbow trout abound. The catch was all they had anticipated, and with - their success, came a longing to show their friends, The Fish back at Matt Lillig's what real fishermen actually accomplish. With fifty of the choice catch, iced, and packed for the trip, the home- ward drive of 250 miles was made over night, and the fol- lowing noon, these fish were served as evidence of the be- witching stories of the successful trip. "There can be no circumstantial evidence about this case," declared Judge C. T. Northrup as he smacked his lips and carved away at one of the three pounders. Dr. Woods did not even mention the little string of perch, which, on former occasions had been heralded as a great catch. E. B. Taylor, J. Lee Rosberg, M. P. Thoma, George Sewell, E. C. Weisenberg, A. Eckart, Mrs. DeWitt Garrison, Mrs Pauline Hawley, M. A. Stockley, and John C. Williams The Story were other guests at the dinner, all of whom shared with their hosts the pleas- ures the trip had brought, but expressed little sympathy in the talk about the "big ones that got away."
