King Fishers

Bill Dolson, Tom Dolson and Henry Riker had just returned from a three days’ fishing trip near Waupeton. They must have carried some charm with them, for it seems that all the salmon in the Mississippi held a convention in the waters of the Waupteon during these three days, and unanimously resolved to bite. The three fishermen, using hooks, caught 667 salmon and a barrel of dressed catfish. We don’t mean to say catfish were dressed before they were caught. If any three men in this part of creation can beat that let them speak now or forever hold their peace.
