said Patrick Riordan. II believe there
are bass to be caught near the BenninS
plant If the proper bait were used.
Buil minnows make the best bait for
hot-water fishing, and there are plenty
of them where the water empties.
Fish know a good thing when they
find it,
Many day, when there was thick ice
on the river. Patrick Riordan went to
the foot OF eth street, tried his luck
and returned with strings of bass.
The doubling Thomases would not

John Hurley being one of them, and
had to treat them as Missourians. but

The veteran angler thinks he will
try hot water fishing at Benning next

Joe Sanburn and Chester Fowler last
week went to catletts, Va. AS guests
of Luke Redd. They went to the
country to follow the dogs over the
fields and capture some game.
1t was Fowler's first cunning trip.
declared Savage, and the accidental
discharge of his gun caused him TO
bandon the sport, but Joe Sanburn
killed six rabbits.
Game was not so plentiful as the
sDortsmen had anticipated. they stated,
and they roamed about the country
enjoying the odor of the pines and
looking through the woods.
ut was a fortunate look for San
i burn" said Savage, but a disastrous
one for Fowler. They discovered bee
tree, went to work on it and got sixty
five pounds of honey, and Fowler felt
the force of the sting of a number of
bees"
Austin Savage says he no longer will
be under obligations to his fishing
friends. He has enjoyed many outings
on "battleships" belonging to friends,
and has never been unfortunate enough
to go to the bottom.
But when man owns boat and
is his own captain" said Savage. hes
supposed to be master of the boat. and
can go when and where he pleases."
1t is now Capt. Austin Savage of the
launch named the Nut, so named, the
owner says, because of the ''nutty'
caliber of some of the fishermen he
expects to be his guests next summer

time on his craft said John w. Hur-
