THE DAILY GATE CITY — OCTOBER 12, 1909
Brewer’s Fish Story
Kansas City Journal: At a dinner of the Vermont Fish and Game League in that state the other night Justice Brewer told a new Kansas fish story. He said he considered the missionary spirit in Vermont next best to that in Kansas, which is his own state. He said that they had educated fish in Kansas, and told the story of the man who, while fishing in the Arkansas river, lost his watch and a silver dollar overboard. A year afterward he caught a large catfish which weighed over 100 pounds. Inside of the fish was his watch, which the fish had kept wound, still running, the silver dollar and 6 cents for interest.
