Fish Thieves Strike NIU's Lagoon in 1920

From the May 27, 2020, MidWeek  "Looking Back."

1920, 100 Years Ago.

"Although the youngsters have been catching a lot of little fish in the normal lake (now NIU's Lagoon), no reports of any sizable ones being caught have been received, the average fish being less than eight inches long.

"There is a rumor current that the cause of the condition is that seiners have  been busy on the lake at unearthly hours and have taken all the fish out of the lake."
