The Iniest sensation Is the fact that the crew of the fishing tug Geele caught a sturgeon off Muskegon u lew days ago that measures 11 *eet A Indies In leugtli, & feet In clruuniferenue^ and weighs 1,173 pounds. Booth, the Chicago oyster man, Is credited with having secured the monster and It Is to be brought hero by one of the east shore steamers, It Is more than likely that the curiosity men of the various muse¬ ums will make a scramble for it. No such llsh has ever belore been seen In fresh water and the llshormen and sailors express great wonderment. Some of them Insist that It Is not a sturgeon at ytll, but is a species of fresh-water whale. File your Maiiink Ijkuukus for re orei ic. Geo. B. Carpenter & Co., Ship Chandlers and Sail Makers.
