Hammond Men Declare
That Catfish Jerked En-
CINE Out of Boat.

John Schmueser of Schmueser Bros.,
wall paper, paints, etc, 116 Sibley
street. carries with him today a pro-
found respect for the pulling propen-
stiles of the catfish. He will resent
any inference to the effect that a fish
of that tribe is living on his reputa-
tion and is not what 1t is cracked up
to be. John knows better
Together with William Kleihege
the master plumber, and Otto Haehnel.
who deals in ice, Schmueser motored to
the Kanakakee river and started down
stream after fish. They shot seven
teen ducks and caught 100 pounds of
fish in the few days they were there.
1t was during that time that Schmueser
became acquainted with a big healthy
cat fish that swallowed bait hook and
all and started up stream.
Tt was a monster. Although 1t is
late for fish stories, John says that 1t
pulled the gasoline engine. 1t yank
ed him overheard, at least. and Otto.
who tried to save Schmueser went out
too. 1t was some time before the paint
man was rescued and when he was
finally hauled into the boat again he
was all in.
Nevertheless. the trio enjoyed the
trip. Seven hundred pounds of fish is
about the record catch of the season
for three men.
