HERE'S YOUR
FISH STORY
Claude Clark, Dick Carothers
And Alex 0yerShiner Are
0utdOne.

Glasgow. Ky, July 20 = Eliza
Mitchell the premier angling artist
of Metcalfe county, was the hero of
a fishing adventure in Beaver creek
that put the imagination of Baron
Munchausen to shame. A sixty-five
pound yellow catfish out-whaled
Jonah's whale when he swallowed
MitchelPs arm up to the elbow and
churned up the waters of the stream
with Mitchell in tow.
While Mitchell was fishing in
Beaver creek he sighted a huge cat
fish under a rock. Lines and hooks
proved of no use in trying to dislodge
him. Mitchell then leaned over the
rock, thrust his right arm in the
mouth of the fish and seized him by
the gills. The fish closed his mouth
and made tremendous flounce.
Mitchell was splashed into the
water and plunged under. The cat
fish set out on strenuous marathon
swim downstream, with Mitchell
floundering after. For over a quar-
ter of a mile they churned the stream.
the fish showing such humane con-
sideration as to come to the surface
every twenty yards or more to let
Mitchell have a gasp in the air.
A drift log floated close enough for
Mitchell to catch it and hold himself
out of water. His repeated calls for
help were heard by Joe Duffy, ne
gro work hand, who came to his as
sistance with a plow-line. Duffy
towed Mitchell and Mitchell lowed
the fish, which seemed unwilling to
part from his travelling companion.
The catfish when landed was found
to be three feet nine inches long and
sixty-fve pounds in weight. Mitchell
says that it looked like a whale to
him while they were under water.
Eliza Mitchell is the nephew of W.
H. Newman. former y president of
the New York Central railroad. He
has fought Indians and was present
at the killing of Sitting Bull, but af-
firms that acting for the wild west
movies is undoubtedly easier than
the part of some Biblical
h eroes.
