TO CATCH FISH,

Special to the BVKNINQ NEWS.
Jaraeaburg. Sept. J:—One of the
best fish stories of the season is be
ing told by V. ilUam Richard, ot
Uuckelew avenue, that had Its origin
Saturday afternoon last and the only
part of the yarn that is not fishy u
the fact that it is all true.
Richard was fishing off the white
bridge and hooked a pike estimated
to be around the four-pound size. Ia
trying to land it the flsh broke the
line off a few inches beyond the cork.
Several minutes later Howard Ap
plegate saw the cork bobbing up and
down and soon had his line around
it and in pulling in found the pike
still was fast on the hook. The tackle
was pulled ashore and in attempting
to raise the fish out of the water the
beauty managed to work himself free
when within his grasp.
Another line was baited and this
was also broken in the same manner
by a pike and later in the day was
fished up by Grayson VanCleaf, but
no fish was visible when the hook
was raised out of the water. He
made his escape before the hook was
lifted from the water.
