Fishermen bring in large Fall River catfish
Three area fishermen netted two thirty five pound catfish yesterday on Fall River. Don Richardson of 501 N. Central caught one by pole using worms and minnows while Guy Daniels of Altoona and Richard Daniels of Humboldt helped set a trot line that yielded the other big catfish. Perch and bullheads served as bait, and an eight pounder was taken on the trot line set Saturday. Mrs Hosea Jones may try to raise freak roses found in her garden. She has found three stems with unusual blooms and asks rose expert J L Taylor for guidance.
