Show railroad thought arrangements had been made for the right of way across Annas land. Apparently they were not to her liking. She met the construction crew on her property line with a loaded rifle. She held them off at gunpoint until the main office agreed to pay her price. I havent mentioned much about Annas husband Wolf. Anna was so hard to get along with that Wolf lived in a separate house from the one she lived in. Even though he was part owner in the businesses and land holdings, he really had no say in how they were run. Anna was cantankerous her whole life. In 1910, two years before her death, at age 65, she was the only dissenting vote of an otherwise unanimous decision to put sidewalks on main street. Ann Marks Continued from page 2 swore she would sue him. They went to fence. court. Dan got his ' One would thing that Anna would learn but she must not have. In yet another fencing incidentwith neighbor Harvey Thomkins she got the worst of it. Harvey was building a fence on their property line when he was shot. A plug of tobacco in his shirt pocket saved his life. Anna shot again just grazing his young daughter. Harvey was infuriated. He stormed over to Anna, took her gun away, and slapped her silly.

One of our goals is to impress on the kids that we leave a site in better shape than when we arrived."

Douglass, of course, would like to see more schools involved. And Gunderson would like to see more funds available for projects such as this one. And, of course, all agree that the underlying reward is the possibility, as Deakins pointed out, of getting kids "Hooked on Fishing - Not on Drugs."

After attending the class, Taylor presented the program to the district superintendent and school principal. Taylor, who teaches everything from history to applied math to drivers ed at the Eureka High, then organized the event.

At the ponds, Taylor and Gunderson helped rig outfits and directed the students to some 132-stude- 30-min- likely spots. For several of the students, this was the first time theyd baited a hook or attempted to cast. There was very little action at first. "But it picked up, and I think most everyone caught fish," Taylor said.
