SALMON CAUGHT IN
COLUMBIA RIVER HAS
TWO COMPLETE MOUTHS
PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 26 (By As
sociated Press).—A salmon with two
complete mouths, was recently taken
from the Columbia river, near here,
by fishermen. The freak was not
discovered until it reached tlje local
market. Injury when young is said
to have been the cause of the
growth of the under jaw, which is
filled with teeth.
The fish, a silverside salmon,
weighed ten pounds. Careful exami
nation revealed that the V-shaped
cartilage which supports the tongue,
had been wrenched loose from the
lower jaw, probably when the fish
was a fingerling, and had healed per
fectly, giving the fish the same sem
blance of two lower jaws. Nothing
similar had ever been seen here
among the hundreds of thousands of
tons of salmon handled annually.
There was only one entrance into
the gullet through the throat, how
ever, and it is assumed the fish had
muscular control over the extra jaw,
for even a fish, if it keeps its
mouth open, will drown, according to
authorities of the finny tribe.
GOEBEL’S Ml DERER
HAS BEEN PARDONED
LOUISVILLE, Ky„ Dec. 26.—Henry
Youtsey, convicted in connection

been paroled in December, a year ago
by the state board of prison commis
sioners.
The murder of Governor Goebel oc
curred after a sharp election contest,
bc.h republicans and democrats
claiming they had won. The governor
was shot in the back as he was
emerging from ti e state capitol at
Frankfort, and later Youtsey ar.d four
other politicians were tried and con
victed on charges of implication. The
remaining four persons have since
been pardoned.
TOBACCO INTERESTS
