Jun 29 - A Wonder at Maxinkuctee. Indianapolis News: "A report drifts down from Culver to the ^.effect that Frank J. Vincent of this city has just extracted from Lake Maxinkuckee what at first seemed to 'be a fresh water sea serpent, but which proved to be a gar — one of the kind, doubtless, that led to the building of the exclamation 'by gar,' as it is said to be sixty inches long, and, according to scales other than its own, weigh of eighteen and one half pounds. As sea serpents are scarce this year, and a half loaf, even if it be a. fish, is better than none, Frank Lamson of the Palmer House intends to stuff the skin of the fish with things that were not placed there by nature, and display it in the hotel office."
