trout fishermen in NeWburg, Ellenville and
along the Homowack and Mountandale
brooks i'm Orange county, y. Y, over the
discovery that some mscreant during the

the banks of the streams were lined with
thousands of dead trout, from two to II
inches in length Not live fish has been
seen. 1t is a wel-known fact that one
bushel of lime placed in trout stream will
kill all the fish for distance of three
miles. Portions of these streams have
been leased by New York men, who have
put up signs warning trespassers away. 1t
is believed the fish were killed by residents
of the neighborhood, who resent the en-
croachment of the New Workers.
