MAN WINS BATTLE WITH SHARK FOR A 12 POUND SALMON


    While endeavoring to land into his boat a salmon which he had caught off 
the Ediz Hook Spit shortly after ten o;clock this morning, H.B. Crisler of 
this city battled with a shark for the possession of the salmon.

    Crisler won the fight with the cetaean and landed the salmon, a 12 
pounder, but not until the shark had endangered Crisler's life and that of his 
wife who was in the boat with him.

    According to the story told by Crisler, he had just hooked the salmon and 
was fighting  with the flashing beauty, when the shark appeared lunging so 
wickedly that the boat was in danger of being swamped.  The shark disappeared 
when Crisler succeeded in bringing in the salmon.

    Besides the 12 pounder, Mr. and Mrs. Crisler returned to Angeles with two 
other specimens, one a nine pounder and one weighing five pound and a half.

    The Crisler's reside on Third and Cherry streets Port Angeles, Washington

Mr. Crisler is an old Madison county boy.  He is a grandson of Mr. J.H. Bruce 
of near here, and has many friends who will be interested in the above 
clipping.
