CATCHES TWENTY-FIVE
POUND FISH WITH
HIS BARE HANDS.

st. Louis, Nov. 9-Joseph Clump,
a resident of Perry county, Mo-, is
the leader of a new school of fish
ing. Clump was taught method of
catching fish with his bare hands
by an Irish welldigger, who often
brought fish to the Clump home.
AS the trophies were generally of
a size unknown in that vicinity,
his luck was widely commented
upon. He answered that he caught
them with his hands. and took
Clump with him on his next trip
to prove his assertions.
Clump has frequently exhibited
his dexterity in catching the fish
as they move through the water,
and has startled a school of in
struction in the art with four pu-
pills in attendance. A record
catch made by CIump, in two
hours time, is said to be 200
pounds. One fish, a channel cat,
weighed twenty-five pounds.
James Fl. Williams, a ST. Louis
tailor, insists Clump's tale is true,
and is willing to wager with any
one who doubts his word
