POISON KILLING MANY FISH AT MAXINKUCKEE Will Obenchain the carpenter contractor, has recently returned from a trip to Lake Maxinkucckee and reports that Lake Maxinkuckee seems destined to be utterly depop ulated of game fish owing to the mysterious disease or poisoning, which has attacked the fish. He states that the shores of the lake are littered with dead bass and salmon and other game fish, the German carp and other soft fish not seeming to be affected. The cause of the death, of the fish still remains a mystery. State fish and game authorities have, been, investigating the matter, but have not arrived at any conclusion, it is said. Whether it is poison that has been injected into the water from some subterranean disturbance, a disease traced to local causes or what the cause is not ascertained. What seems to be very apparent, however, is that fishing at the lake is practically destroyed, according-to the report. Fishermen, are afraid to use the fish when caught because of the infection from which the finny tribe is suffering. The same fatal malady is said to have attacked the fish of this pop ular ftshing ground about thirty years ago Logansport Pharos-Reporter Tuesday May 27 1919

WATER MOLD KILLS FISH. - It has been determined by the state officials who have examined the water of Lake Maxinkuckee, that water mold has caused the death of the many fish that have been discovered on the lake. This mold is known to have killed many fish in the lakes of the state, but the epidemic that is visiting Lake Maxinkuckee this time is the "worst one ever known. Authorities state that fish taken out of the lake may be eaten, without any ill res ults Logansport Pharos-Reporter Wednesday, May 28, 1919

BASS FISHING AT LAKE MAXINKUCKEE IS GOOD - The epidemic amongst the fish at Lake Maxinkuckee is the same as they have each year, only this year it is a great deal more prominent. Twenty-two years ago it was much worse than this year. That year they died in the Tippecanoe river the same as they did in the lake. The most reasonable solution of the matter is poisonous woods. There is no danger of catching a sick fish as a sick fish will not bite or eat anything. Bass fishing at the lake has been good tho past few weeks. Logansport Pharos-Reporter MONDAY, MAY 5, 1919.
