MONSIER CATFISH HOOKED IN THE SALADO CREEK Party of Picknickers Make a Splendid Sunday Catch at the Lavernia Crossing, A catfish measuring fully four feet in length without stretching the truth and weighing between sixty and seventy pounds, was caught by a party of Sau | Antonians in the Salado creek on the Lavernia crossing yesterday after noon about 4 o ’clock. It was while a picnic party composed of Clive Abbey, Joe Margozewitz and wife and Mr. and Mrs. Schimmclpfenning was enjoying an outing on the banks of the creek that this splendid catch was made. The fish was caught on a throw line bajted with a perch and it required the combined efforts of the three men to land him. He gave his captors a fierce I । tight and whipped the water into a' foam from bank to bank with his tail | I before he was finally landed. The party : I arrived in the city with the fish last night at 11 o’clock and took him to the; home of Clive Abbey qn Indianola' street, where he was viewed by a dozen I or more persons who were attracted to I the scene. The fish was placed in a I bath tub, which was filled with water, and there he is today splashing around j to his full enjoyment. Mr. Catfish will i be photographed today. That there | were inhabitants of the finny tribe of | such size in the Salado creek few I would probably believe unless they had ; ocular proof. But the fish is here and I the men who caught the fish are here to । vouch for it. SEGUIN SIFTINGS. Special Dispatch.

It was when the young inan began to run, after having been discovered on the premises of Mr. Pan coast, that the latter armed himself with a revolver, procured for him by Mrs. Pancoast, and gave chase. The pursued and pursuer demonstrated they were both sprinters of no mean abil ity. ‘ Thieves have been bothering ns so much of late, that I naturally became suspicious when I discovered the ac tions of the young man,” said Mr. Pan coast. "Now that the investigation has been made by the officers and the statements of the young man found to be true, I am able to understand why he acted so strangely when I spoke to him. "But I want to say one thing,” ad ded Mr. Pancoast. "I held the quarter mile race record when I was at col lege and am somewhat of a sorinter yet, but that young man, if he is given proper training will in a few weeks be able to break the world’s record for a mile race. I did some fast running and so did he. But for him becoming wind ed I doubt whether I would have ever overtaken him.” C C C CURES Q. 0.0. OLD SORES 8. S. S. cures Old Sores in the very simplest way. It just goes into tha circulation and removes the poisons and impurities which are keeping the place open. Then ths sore or ulcer heals because the infected fles’x tissues receive nourishment and healing properties from the blood, in stead of irritating, disease-laden germs. Every symptom of an old sore suggests diseased blood. The inflammation, discharge, discolored flesh around the ulcer, and the fact that it resists every form of local treatment, and even returns after being removed by surgical operation, indicates to what a great extent the blood is polluted. S. S. 8. removes every trace of poison or infectious matter from the circulation and makes the blood stream pure, rich and healthy S. S.

From the first, the young man, whose family connections in the city are very/ high, maintained he had no intention of committing any depredations, but that he had dashed through the premises of Mr. Pancoast in making an effort to escape being assaulted by another to whom he was in debt five dollars. When the young man reached the police sta tion it was with difficulty that he man aged to make a statement. He was per fectly exhausted and it was necessary for him to occupy a chair.
