from his vacation last Monday
evening. He reports having
caught a catfish that weighed
fifty-seven and one fourth pounds.
On cleaning it he found concealed
in it's interior two chickens, razor,
and fat green frog. Mr.. Casino
feels positive that the frog is the
same one which he baited a
line with five years ago while on
a fishing trip. He said he would
have given five dollars if he had
a kodak along 80 he could have
taken picture of the catfish.

 The order entered by Judge Sayre Il as follows: Demurrer to defendanti answer sustained. Defendant refused to plead further. Judgment that per emptory writ of mandamus issue ac cording to prayer of petition"
 The street car company, during thu early part of September. revoked al it's passes on the ground that the com pany was common carrier and wa compelled by the State laws to discon tinue free transportation.

The City Council demanded the city's passes The Traction Com pany refused. Thereupon the Cit, Council filed a petition for a writ oi mandamus in the City Court to com. pei the issuance of. the passes. E Recently Judge Sayre handed dowr an opinion that the city was entitled to the free transportation and yester. day's order was merely a final order IT the enforcement of the courts opinion
