Flanagan, who was knocked senseless in q
prize fighting contest with VIM. Catskill,
near Low Point, Saturday night. lies in q
critical condition at Low Point. Flanagan
and Catskill both live at Fishkill. They
fought nine rounds for prize of $40. and
in the final round CatskilI delivered his
Knockout blow.
Catskill, who is a colored youth, has dis
appeared. Flanagan Is eighteen years old.
There had been bad blood between the
lads for some time past, and the fight Of
Saturday night was regarded by both as q
means of settling their differences. They
fought with vim for nine rounds, when a
terrific blow from the colored boy knocked
Flanagan senseless. Those at the ringside
did what they could to bring him back to
consciousness, but did not send for doctor
until several hours had elapsed Then Cat
skill, the seconds, referee and others who
mad aided in bringing off the fight left for
places of concealment. Thus far there have
been no arrests. The fight was one Of the
most savage that has been seen in this part

FIVE ROCK rISnINa.


Tho Blond worm, a New Bait to SusIehanna
Fishermen, Tried Win Amazing Success
A special to the Baltimore Sun from
Havre de Grace, Md, says: Every
ono Interested in hook-and line fishing
hereabouts is becoming greatly infatu'
atstl with rock fishing up the river
among tine rocks and falls where striped
bass seem TO be unusually abundant
this season. Some unusual catches
have been reported from time to time,
and, with a continued low condition
of the river, will probably reward those
piscatorially inclined for some time to
come.
The greatest catch of the season was
reported some time ngo, when a New
York party, 10 company with James
Mccullough, caught 287 fish in two
days. This angler brought a bait that
is new TO the fishermen hereabouts, and
when questioned concerning it did not
seem inclined to give any information
at all.
His great SUCCESS prompted those who
knew about it TO try to find out, as the
bait he used seemed to be very much
superior to the eel tail so long used
here for trawling purposes. AS he
vouchsafed no information, card was
taken nff one of the baskets the bait
was shipped in, and unon sending to
the Brooklyn IN. y, ldress the de-
sired information was obtained. The
bait is what is known as bloodworm,
and is about six or eight inches in
length, and has legs along each side
like centipede. 1t is found along the
| Jersey coast.
