A pleasant party of brave lads and
handsome lassies chaperoned by
Mesdames COpley, Jones and Free
man of the Phoenix visited Big Pond
last Wednesday afternoon on a fish
ing trip. Despite the fact that they
were pretty thoroughly soaked by
the heavy showers all report a fine
time.
That LamOille county supplies a
large share of the eggs used in the
White Mountains may not be gener-
ally known, but it is a fact neverthe-
less. c. NJ. Strong of this place has
opened up a large trade there. Last
week his shipments were etwenty-eight
cases and the demand is still greater.
He has buyers in the several towns
but finds that he must 90 still fur
ther in order to fill the orders.
The fish law has been pretty thor
oughly discussed the past few days.
What has brought this law into spec
ial prominence just now is the fact
that Fish Warden Kip of Wolcott
had caused the arrest of Harvey
Bundy for catching trout of less than
lawful size. Bundy had been hired
by the lessees of Hyde Pond (Messrs.
Strong, Swift, Noyes and Child to
catch small brook trout and place
them Ill their pond. E. L. Noyes,
one of the above parties, by virtue of
his being ali officer of the State Fish
and Game League, had authorized
Bundy and others to take fish of any
size for this purpose. Kip believed
the law was violated and hence caused
the arrest of Bundy, who had in his
possession upwards of $50 small
trout. A hearing was had before
Justice Cady of MOrrisville Monday,
States Attorney Moody appearing
for the State and Col. E. B. Sawyer
for the defendant. Examination was
waived and the defendant fined $500
and costs. An appeal was taken.
The lessees of the pond claim that
they acted in good faith and believed
that they were proceeding lawfully.
They leased the pond and were stock
ing it for the purpose of having a
good fishing ground for themselves
and friends. There is evidently bit
of GOODNESS between Kip and these
parties. Kip appears to have op-
posed their leasing the pond, and it
is said that he had boasted that if it
was made private it would be ruined
for trout fishing in short time. On
the other hand Kip says he has SIM
ply done his duty as an officer.

of B. N. McKinstry, a native of this
