HEREFORD REPORTER, FRIDAY, MAT 17, 1901
FIRST BIO BASS.
Caught by Sam Dunn—Weighed
Pounds.
Last Monday evening Sam Dunn,
Hereford's crack fisherman and
hunter, and the editor of this paper
hied themselves to that prettiest of
streams, the Tierra Blanco, in
quest of a few specimens of the
finny tribe, which abound in count-
less numbers in that stream.
After catching ten black bass,
only three> óf' which we were al-
lowed to keep, in accordance with
the unwritten law which is in force
among the Tierra Blanco fishermen
and which is that all bass caught
under a pound in weight shall be
placed back in the river, the writer
returned home, having some busi-
ness to attend which would not well
be put off, leaving Mr. Dunn to
cope, successfully as it proved, with
the flighty denizens of the deep.
About 8 o'clock in the evening
Mr. Dunn came waltzing into town
bearing in his sack ten of the finest
specimens of Tierra Blanco bass that
it has been the writer's fortune to
see. The three largest weighed 4^,
2} and pounds respectively.
Sam says they would have weighed
more had it not been for the fact
that no funnel and shot were ob-
tainable.
On Tuesday morning a number of
Mr. Dunn's friends had the ex-
quisite pleasure of eating bass for
their morning repast, the writer be-
ing included for which Mr. Dunn
has our deepest gratitude.

Bitten by a Rattlesnake.
Gertie Dillon, the five-year-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. W.
Dillon who live about twelve miles
east of town, on Sunday morning,
while playing in a field near where
her father was looking over his crops,
had the misfortune to be bitten by a
rattlesnake. She was immediately
brought to the Ritchey House and
Drs. Tinsley and Johnson sum-
moned, who dressed the wound and
administered an antidote. At last
accounts she was doing well and no
serious results are anticipated.
Removed the Obstacle.
A couple that wanted to get mar-
ried in Centerville, but couldn't be-
cause the groom was too young to
secure the license, were not to be
kept apart by such a trifle as that.
They secured the services of a law-
yer, who drew up a common law
contract for them and they both
signed and acknowledged it and filed
with the clerk for record. They
then went home happy. Although
not yet 21 years old, the groom was
a widower and the bride was a
widow.—Roswell Record.
