TWO CATS
Caught on a Paducahan's Fish
ing Line.
1t Was Stretched Across the Yard and
Both Were Hooked.

Mr.. Ed Wheeler, foreman of the
local 1. O. tin shops, who resides at
No. 727 North 18th street. bears the
distinction of being probably the only
angler in the city who has caught cats
on throw line"
A throw line is a strong piece OF
staging anywhere from so TO 100 yards
long, and at the end is tied . heavy
piece of metal. Just above this metal
weight are tied from two to dozen
fishing hooks, each suspended from the
line by smaller lines. The throw
line" is thrown out into the river by
catching the line above the hooks,
swinging it about the head and let
ting 20 out 1t. The weight carries il
far into the river and when the metal
has settled to the bottom the line is
stretched taut. The hooks, of course,
have been baited. and when . fish
"bites" he usually does so until be is
hooked.
Mr.. Wheeler had been fishing with
this class Of line and on returning
home hung it out to dry, tying one
end to his coal shed, the other on the
fence.
The hooks were left suspended IA
few feet from the ground, and the cats
were attracted tn them either because
they looked good to play with, or be.
cause they scented the remnants Of
bait
In their efforts to jump up and
catch the hooks they succeeded even
better than they expected. and were
soon hanging, squirming and squalling
to the lines. the hooks becoming EN-
bedded farther in their mouths every
time. Their noise soon attracted Mr..
Wheeler, who had difficult time per-
forming the operation Of releasing
them without killing them. He finally
succeeded in cutting the hooks out,
aud feels certain that it will be Il long
time before the cats daily with a fish.
