The clothing house man soon bad somet'alni; tug ging away at his line that he Just knew was "a whale of a fish." and bis six ounce rod was tied In a bow knot. For an hour and a half Ragnn battled with the monster, paying out a hundred yards of line, and using all the skill that has landed so many sales of the "latest thing In iulta" to bring the flh to the hore. When darkness approached. Ragan con cluded to tie hit fish to a tree and return with the first ray ot dawn to finish the battle, but tbe counter of coin wanted '- try at it, and soon gently led a great chlnook near shore. There was too much strain for the light leuder, however, nnd when It parted there was a vision of a lost fish. But Baker made, n Hying leap that he learned when he rode buck- ling cayuses over In Grass Valley, and landed well nmldshlps on the sal mon and Raguu and Dickinson nt once came to the rescue, and the three men battled with the salmon In four feet of water till Rnirnn irot i n death grip in the fish's gills andi"" toulmu uu a'eu alUm can-- towed It ashore with Its cargo of bank cashier.
