FISH on EIGsI,.- J.

ScaIy Sqmabble In Little Pccoaic Ray.
The fishermen employed In the inland waters OF
East Long Island have for the past few days been
labornR under much excitement The question at
is the shore seine interests purse nets
The manufacturing OF oil and guano from moss
bunkers, menhaden, or white s, is an interest the
magnitude Of which IL little understood away from
the immediate neighborhood. In the recent act
passed by the Legislature for the protection Of game
and fish the use OF purse nets In any
OF the waters or the island excepting
Gardner's and Little PecOnic Bay Is prohibited.
The question rests with the dividing line between
Little and Great Peconic Bay. part OF the fisher
men declare that the intention OF the trainers OF the
law was to embrace part Of what Is sometimes
called Great Peconlc Bay. One day last week some
OF the fishermen took the law into their own hands,
and attempted to drive out the pursenet fisherman.
Captains Moses Downs and John Brown 1t seems,
fastened their yacht on to the yacht George b.
Reeve OF Mattltuck and actually towed him and his
pursenetS out or the bay. 1t Is alleged that rotten
eggs and stale fish were the proectlles used by the
warlike vessels. The matter is about to be brought
into court and, as matter OF course, b0tn parties
claim to be the In lured ones.
