with a vengeance. while looking for the
ardent Saturday morning. They saw
a wagon passing along Fore street and
the wagon was filled with cases of the

dash, came out of the water and in
some way managed to jump through
the line in such a way as to tie a
knot in it, which was not seen I'M
til 1t reach the tip Of the rod and
gave the fish time to come out Of the
water again, shake himself and say
good bye, l am free once more"
