The prowess of Fletcher Davis, an athletic young man from Oklahoma City, Okl., is a subject of much wonderment and was the cause of no little excitement at Virginia Beach, Md.
    Davis was enjoying a swim, when he saw good-sized shark towing through the breakers some distance beyond the ropes. Without more ado Davis set out for the shark, rounded him up and drove him within the ropes, causing a panic among the bathers.
    The swimmer then taught the shark by the tail and dragged him to the shore.
    The daring exploit of Mr. Davis was a thrilling spectacle to the great crowd present. The monster, which weighed over 100 pounds, was photographed.
