The Files Of The Citizen

Inc udQuy u dill JEWISH, SdlQ
to have weighed $50 pounds, was
captured by Mr.. and Mrs. A. T.
Hall, of Hampton, Va, yesterday
while fishing from the Boca
Chica bridge. "It gave us the
thrill of our lives and we were
so excited we hardly knew what
we were doing, said Mr.. Hall
while describing the incident in
connection with the taking of the
monster. The mammoth Jewish
was seen by Mrs. Hall, who at
first thought it was a shark, and
pointed it out to her husband. He
secured larger line, baited the
hook and cast it into the water.
The hook was baited with pill
chards and proved a tempting
morsel for the big fellow for the
hook had no sooner struck the
water than it was swallowed by
the Jewish, which, after a strug-
gle on the part of Mr.. and Mrs.
Hall and the fish, was brought in.

Editorial comment: Sweden
has five times fewer doctors
than the United States. Swedes
are very healthy people, and
this paucity of physicians may
have something to do with it.
