    NORTH MANCHESTER - C.E. Rupel thought he had a gold fish aquarium at his home on West Second Street, but this spring he discovers a number of black bass and pike in the pool. So far they are not big enough to bother the gold fish but in time probably will destroy the gold fish unless they are removed. He is at a loss to know how they got in the pool but thinks probably when moss was brought from a lake last year, the little bass and pike minnows were hidden in the moss.
