The daily press has re counted the breaking into a store of a deer and the story nf the man biting off anoth er's thumb and spitting it out. Hut it remained for a War union fisherman to haul in a mi'skrat at the end of his f^hinq line. While fly fishing in the pond at the edge of the No. 8 fairway at the Warrenton Ciolf Course on Tuesday, F P Whitley. administrator of Warren General Hospital, no ticed a, muskrat swimming with his head out of the water. Whitley promptly cast the fly toward the swimming muskrat some 40 feet away. i To the surprise of Whitley and no doubt to the surprise of the muskrat. ? the hook lodged in the tip of the musk rat's nose After a struggle, which Whitley said was equal to that of landing a sizeable bass, the rodent was hauled ashore. But when the muskrat was landed Whitley had no way at hand of killing the animal, but he was equal to the oeca sion. Keeping a tight line oil the rodent, he led it across the No. 1 fairway to the edge of the woods where he found a stick and killed it. \Vhitley said that he had nothing against muskrats, but they are doing considerable damage to the pond dam anil efforts are underway to get rid of them before (hoy do further damage.

He was accompanied to the pond by his fatherin-law, J. Ii. Bar ren, of Wilson.
