A FISH STORY.
The Way They Catch Fish i'm the
KaW River.

Mr.. j. III. Hill, chief clerk for the
receivers of the NJ, K. d T., has a
number of fish stories in his repertoire.
The one that taxes the credulity of
the nearer the least, is the one about
how they catch fish in the Kaw. Said
he to a BAzoo reporter a day or two
since "They catch catfish weighing
over 100 pounds in the holes under
the dam behind the sheet of water
that pours over it. The best
fisherman is colo-ed mute
who fastens large sharp steel hook
to his right wrist with strap and ty-
ing long rope around his waist he
dives under the sheet of water coming
up behind it. The rope around his
waist is held by his assistant stationed
In boat and pays it out as bis part
ner crawls along close to the dam
hunting for the holes which are formed
by leaks. When he has found one he
carefully feels around until his hand
comes in contact with the back Of
a fish. The fish lies with its
head toward the dam enjoying
the fresh cool water flowing through
the opening and does not notice the
fisherman's hand gently rubbing up
its back until moment later hook
is thrust through its tail. Then tine
excitement begins, the mute signals
his companions in the boats land they
drag fisherman, fish and all out from
under the dam and through the water
to the shore. The fish founders
about furiously and some times it is
hard to tell the fisherman from. the
fish in the water. After the fish is
landed the fisherman readjusts the
rope and hook and dives under the
dam to be drawn out with another fish
q few moments later.

The Lunafie Dances.

Dances are given weekly at the
State Lunatic Asylum at Nevada in
which the well behaved patients are
allowed to participate. Two patients
are not allowed to dance together
but there are always attending large
number of citizens from whom a sane
partner can always be found. The
lnnatic seems to regain his sanity
when the music starts up and dances
with the greatest grace. They seem
to forget their troubles when in the
ball room and the dances have a salu-
tray effect upon the unfortunate crea-
lures of unbalanced mind.
