Orders have been received from similsons in the Maritimes, Batons in Montreal. and Morgans and Pascale in Montreal. The last store advertises itself as the largest hardware store in the world.

iiardware Salesman Lassoes Sturgeon, Piopslt- in Bathtub

MONTREAL, Nov. 1 ~ (C?) -- When Ernest. Tanguay tells a story 0f catching a fish by lasso he likes to have the evidence handy. That's how he came to have a live 40-pound sturgeon ir. the bathtub of his East-End a-p- artment.

Tanguny. a 53-year-old truck driver, told the story to a group o! friends, g newspaper reporter and a photographer Wednesday night after he brought home the fish that he named "Chou-Chou’ - typical French Canadian pe: name. And for any doubters there was "Chou-Chou" swishlng his tail in the tub.

The sturgeon died this morning but: this is the story that Tangusiy had to tell:

While repairing his truck Wed- nesday by the Mllle-Iies River near Ste. Rose, 20 miles from hero, he saw a fish jumping close to the bank. He tried to catch it with his hands but it escaped.

Taking g, rope from the truck

,5 he made a lasso and went after

the fish again, Either the stare.- eon leaped into the loop or it was a. lucky throw for Tanguay caught it fast, hauled it ashore and dump- ed ii: in the truck.

As he drove on toward Ste. Therese he noticed the fish had disappeared from the rear of tho true-k. He returned to Ste. Rose where he found a. group of an-iar- ed citizens in the middle of the street watching the great fish, still lumping. ,

Tanguay brushed off an offer of $15. for his catch, reclaimed the

sturgeon and headed home to show it to his friends, It was still alive when he

reached St. Andre Street so he 111st filled the tub and plopped the i50- inch sturgeon in.

Neither Tanguay nor his wife was available tonight to any what they intend to do with the stur- geon but. at least. they had a newspaper photograph to prove it was no fish story.

Meanwhile. Fish and Game De- partment officials said Tammy's catch was perfectly legal. Sturgeon may be caught with nete only by licensed commercial fishermen l-ut if they want to try for them the way Tanguay did, it's OK.
