Ed. Goodell recently secured a clam
from New London which showed re-
markable amount of executive ability.
There was nothing to distinguish this
particular clam from the others when
he arst arrived. but the night after
he got here was when the reputation
was made. When Mr.. Goodell OPEN
ed his place the next morning he
found the clam holding large rat
firmly by the tail, awaiting patiently
for Ed. to come and hit the rodent
with q hammer. Nelson Towne
claims that it was an accident. Others
who know of the circumstance Ore just
as firmly convinced that the capture
was the result of a we'll developed
plan. Nobody has been accused of
being a Dature fakir in connection
with the case as yet.
