HOW INDIANS GIa Bass.

The mountain streams of Indian Ter
ritory which abound in game fish.
principally black bass, have been as
clear as crystal for the last ten days,
and the Indians have been having great
sport gigging them.
In mountain stream in the Terri
tory when the water is clear the bot
tom can be seen through six feet of
water, and this makes gigging a great
sport for the Indians. They are ex-
perts with the canoe and the gig. and
spurn the finest fishing tackle in the
way Of rod and reel, as it is too slow
sport for them.
It is interesting to watch a cornIe
of Indians gig fish. With the long,
slender reed. tipped and barbed with
steel, one Indian leans over the Prov
OF the canoe while the other with his
paddle gently and noiselessly let's the
canoe slide up to the big rocks and
around logs in deep water, where the
bass and catfish lie. The Indian carries
his gig uplifted and ready to strike at
any time.
With his face not six inches above
the water, his keen eyes sean the bot
tom and he will locate a bass or cat
fish lying partly under rock or log
that would never be seen by the aver
age fisherman. The stroke of the deg
terous arm is like lightning, and in
a fash the fish is speared through and
lifted into the boat
There is no struggling to land him.
no excitement of winding in the line.
for the Indian hunts for game and not
for sport
An Indian seldom misses his fsh
when he throws the gig. And his mo-
tion is so perfect and his balance so
even that there is scarcely a treuor in
the boat, while the amateur is likely
not only to miss his Ash two feet but
stand on his head in the water besides.

When there was about half minute
remaining Of the fourth round Powell
shot in q short right swing, full of
power, 10 the jaw. Wolff sank TO his
knees, his face taking on a blank look,
all expression seeming to vanish as
the blow took its effect. He rose TO
his feet and backed across the ring
TO the ropes where he hung on for 2
moment. Powell struck him some half
hearted blows, seeing he had him abb
solutely at his mercy.
Referee Roche loosened VOLTS hold
on the ropes and he staggered along
to another side of the ring Roche
shook him and found that he was alb
solutely dazed. He was about to stop
the fight. but first glanced over TO

but at the same moment the gong
sounded the END Of the round. Wolff
sat helpless in his corner during the
allotted minute Of rest and Roche
awarded the fight to Powell.
