Mayor Callaghan says the recent agi

the probable fire insurance rates that
may be enforced in this city, cannot
claim credit for the proposed attempt
on the part of the city to bring about
what it terms will be a better contract
and in securing an improvement ot

the water company makes any improve
ments in the local plant, the mayor
says it will be because of the investi

The officials of the Water Supply

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.

?OUCE TURN LOOSE PANCOASTS
CAPTIVE AFTER REMARKABLE RACE
Remaining in the custody of the po
lice at the city hall for almost an hour,
the young man apprehended Saturday
afternoon by Assistant City Engineer
Aaron Pancoast, after an exciting chase
for more than a mile, was finally dis
charged from custody and permitted to
go his way. 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. S. reaches hereditary taints, and those who ara
suffering from an old sore, which came without any apparent cause, could
not do better than take a course of this great blood medicine to remove
the inherited taint. S. S. S. cures old sores for the one simple reason that it
purifies the blood. Book on Sores and Ulcers and any medical advice free

From the first, the young man, whose

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

aged to make a statement. He was per
