Many Fish Dying in Inland Waters
Des Moines reports widespread fish kills across the state. Game and Fish Warden Alber notes inquiries about the cause as two Grinnell artificial lakes yielded wagonloads of dead game fish burned. Fish hatched in lakes and those released by the warden share the fate. Thousands of fish lie brown along Des Moines river bayous blown by wind into sheltered spots. Large water volume in lakes and bayous makes stagnant water an unlikely sole cause.
