The party left here Tuesday morning at
9 o'clock. and reached Rock Point three
hours later. 1t was about o'clock when
they left the fishing shore and started
homeward.
Rock Point is one of the most ac-
commodating places to go for a fishing
trip, stated Mr.. Sergeant. The people
are at the beck and call of visitors. They
always have bait on hand. and it is no
trouble for them to serve anglers"

party of anglers who were discussing
the seasons prospects for catching
bass.

Of the party.
Another said he would run and still
another said he thought he would try
to land the fish If he were certain the
fish could not run.
Vincent Castelli, fishing at Ocean
City last week, had an experience with
such a fish. He was enjoying one OF
several fishing trips this season and
had landed q string Of fish long enough
to measure several feet.

HAMMER USED BY DOCTORS.
Knife Drawn From Mans Backbone
With the Claws.

TAMPA, Fla. August 23.-Perhaps for
the first time in the history OF medical
science q claw hammer was used at a
local hospital as a medical instru-
ment. Willie Long. colored. was brought
to the hospital with knife blade four
inches long sticking into his backbone
driven there by an unknown colored man.
The doctors tried every ordinary means
to remove 1t without avail. Finally the
claw hammer was brought into requisi-
ton, a board placed across the mans
back. the claws Of the hammer adjusted
beneath the knife handle and the blade
drawn out just as one might draw q nail
from q box.

Desperately, Quick to Seize

SARANAC LAKE. y. Y. August %
After a long and trying struggle with a
giant great northern pike I'm Upper Sara
nae lake the feet of DR.. ]. Van Riempst
OF Hudson, n. Y, became entangied in
the line. and the fish dragged him to the
bottom Of the lake. drowning him.
DR.. Van Riempst was the guest of his
brother-in-law. w. J. Hoysradt OF
Bronxville, n. T.. at his camp on Deer
Island, in the lake. They went fishing
Thursday evening In the small boat OF
Harry Baldwin, a guide. while Baldwin
remained on shore 1t was not long be-
fore DR.. Riempst got a terrific strike,
his line cutting through the water and
his reel whistling as the line sped out
It was apparent to both men that this
was no ordinary fish. When all the line
was out and the fish began to tow the
boat DR.. Riempst rose and began to
play his prize. Keeling in a little and
playing out a little.
The Acme Of Sport.
The fish in his excitement and anger
shot through the water at lightning
speed. zig-zagging back and forth. To
the two sportsmen this was the acme
Of fun. Certainly the fish had every bit
the best of the argument, considering
the light rod and tackle with which the
physician was trying to get him near
to the boat.
It required the incest kind OF manipu-
lation to reel the monster in little by lit
tie. getting him nearer to the craft. He
did not seem to tire q bit. He would
shoot under the boat and try his best to
snag the line. He did tie it in knots

expert fisherman, and he gave his prize
all the time he wanted. figuring to tire
him out The only thing he feared was
that under the snappings and tuggings
many times.
Boat Il Upset.
Just as the physician nursed the fish
nearer to the boat, when both men saw
that 1t was a giant pike and one OF the
most vicious fighters that inhabit the cold
waters. Mr.. Hoysradt leaned over to gam
him. as he was too big and lively for a
landing net Just then the wash from q
small steamer passing UP the lake rocked
and toppled overheard into the lake. Mr..
Hoysradt following him as the boat cap
sized.
That was the pixies opportunity. He
dashed wildly back and forth, and thus

had not dropped his hold on the rod
Feet Bound Together.
Before DR.. Van Riempst knew 1t the
pike had bound his feet together. and
thus, as his captor. the pike started or
toward the bottom Of the lake, dragging
the fisherman after him.
Baldwin, the guide. ran out into the
water, but he was too late to save DR..
Van Riempst. He scarried Mr.. Hoysradt
ashore safely. The physicians body was
not found for several hours, and then It
showed how the pike whom he had tan
talized for a half hour had made him .
prisoner and then drowned him. The pike
was gone.

Oratory Too Much for the Goat,

WILKESBARRE. Pa, August 23.-State
Senator Sterling r. Catlin has lost his
goat, not the kind that the jokers like
to tell about, but real one named Will
liam.
Catlin kept his pet in the barn, where
he had stored many of his legislative
speeches, made during his long term of
service at Harrisburg.
The senator went out to the barn to
admire William and to his dismay found
that the goat was loose among his pa
pers and that one voluminous budget
was protruding from his mouth. Despite
all the. senator's efforts William choked
to death. The fatal document was one of
Catlin's greatest legislative propositions.
