DR.. Pinkham and Harry Connell are
having some great sport fishing. Last
Monday evening they concluded TO fish
for bass, some live frogs were secured
and they headed their boat for the
Cameron Cave, where the lily pads
grow thick, after spating the pads with
artificial bait and frogs, for an hour or
more, the Doctor got strike on frog
bait. 1t proved TO be big one and the
tug of war TO land it was on, now
Harry nor the Doctor never get excited
and they can tell you just how it was
done, the Dock reeled him up part way
TO the boat then let him out again
Harry i'm the meantime had secured
landing net and made ready TO shove
it i'm under and left him in, Dock reeled
him in again Harry all excited showed
the net under him but got the fish in
tail first and those long lake bass have
habit of jumping when you think you
have got him then you haven't, well tina
bass acted as though it meant life OF
death and gave leap for life that land
ed il clear of the net and i'm the lake
again. Dock had the grit TO hold on TO
the rod and reel and soon had the whale
coming again. Then he proceeded to
give Harry n piece Of his mind TO not
try the net and he would land the fish
alone. About the time Dock had the
bass up to the boat and was reaching
over to take it in, Harry made lunge
with the net and this time the fish went
in head first but went in with such force
that the net was demolished and about
that critical moment the line broke and
I-well-Harry can tell you just how
much that bass weighed, and Dock!
oh, well, Dock can tell you what an
expert Harry Is when il comes TO land
ing big bass. The service OF the Doc
tor were required p,at night TO admin
lister nerve dope. With the watchful
care Of Mrs. Connell and the Doctors
dope, Harry fell into sound sleep about
midnight and the indications now point
! to his full recovery without loss OF mind
