He if David Barr, Black Hawk county district court bailiff. Barr uses a method taught him by a Sioux Indian at Deli Rapids, S. D. He simply slips a thumb through the gills of the fish and breaks the point in the throat of the fish.

He then runs his thumb and forefinger into the stomach of the fish and pulls. The insides and stomach covering of the fish come off. He then breaks the head over the back, loosens the skin around the break with his thumbnail, grasps the fish by the head with the fingeis of one hand locked around the horns, takes hold of the skm at the head of the spine and pulls. The skin comes off like a glove. COCKTAIL SPECIAL Bet a friend you can tell hirn whether any cne dollar bill he has in hia pocket has an odd or even number without looking at the number.
