One of the greatest crowds of fishermen ever in Kosciusko County was on the lakes over the weekend. Thousands were turned away from some of the best-known fishing lakes, for all the boats and cottages were rented several days ahead and there were no boats to be rented at any price. Several places fishermen offered $1 per hour for the rent of a boat. Walter Crooke of Tippecanoe Lake reports that he had more than 1,000 persons at the Pottowatomie Gardens Saturday night. Traffic was jammed from the lake clear out to Oswego.
