THE ANGLERS.
Stream in Sonoma County That
Will Be Fished To-Morrow

Will Be Fished Tomorrow.
Although the season for trout fishing
opened on the 1st inst, very meager re-
ports from the streams have arrived as
yet.
Charley Green, Jones and Curley re-
turned on Thursday from the PAPER
mill, and Mr.. Green reports that owing to
a heavy rainfall near Mount Tamalpais
the creek is altogether too high for good
fishing. and that the trout have made
their way up to the headwaters, near
Libertys.
Green caught some small fish on the
rifles, but the sport was poor. He reports
tina quite a number of large steelheads
are in the deep pools at Lagunitas Creek
and that some OF the anglers who will bait
fish tomorrow can expect battles royal
and cleaning out of tackle.
Lloyd Eaton, Donald McRae and John
Gallagher fished the Purissima Creek in
San Mateo County and had good luck, but
the fish they basketef were small.
Some nice fish were taken from the San
Gregorio by anglers who fished pretty well
up into the hills. The Los Gatos Creek,
near Wrghts station, was well whipped
by the anglers of San Jose, and some very
fine messes were taken by those who used
worms and salmon roe
According to the following letter angling
in streams which are numerous in Sonoma
County will be excellent this year. as
young trout are plentiful and large fish
still remain over to be caught:

Sporting Editor CdU-DEAR SIR: l have Just
received information from Glen Ellen that
Sonoma Creek and tributaries are running full
with fine large trout. One gentleman caught
seyenty-fve, averaging 10 to IL inches in
length, ana several others made some excellent
catches. All the streams in Sonoma County
are running full with trout This is the case
with all the streams up the line. Reports
from Healdsburg, Geyserville, Cloverdale,
Hopland Pieta and Ukiah and Guerne-
vile are to the effect that there was
never so many trout in the streams In
some places the water is little bit high, but
there is most excellent fishing for the opening
OF the season. Ii to-day and tomorrow are
warm the streams will all be in good shape
Keeping the Russian River open and the stock
ing done by this company during the past
three years have been productive OF wonderful
results.
double daily passenger service to Sonoma
Valley points, morning train leaving this City
at7:30 O'Clock, gives anglers plenty of time to
fish II they have only one day to spare. Yours
respectfully, r. A. RYAN.
Although seven or eight anglers lett this
City last Tuesday purposely to fish in the
Russian River and its tributaries, nothing
In the way of authentic news has arrived

for fly fishing. The best results will be
had during the latter part of this month

The trials of the alleged pickpockets who

against several Of them If arrested. a Gin
cinnati man will come here to-day to take
look at the men.
The men are highly incensed against the
Pinkerton man, who, they think, is respon-
sibie for their arrest. They claim that he
was for eight years one of them, when his
name was McSherry; that he killed a man
in a saloon fight in Chicago and that it
vas through the efforts of these same men
that he escaped with a sentence of one
year. Goehegan, the man arrested at Tom
linson Hall, said yesterday that the very
men whom McSherry or Malcney was now
trying to make trouble for had been his
best friends and associates for years He
also told how these same friends had
dragged the leading witness against Nc
Sherry in the murder case and had kept

Goehegan is the most bitter of the crowd
against the detective. He says that Nc

for being drunk and an additional charge
of resisting an officer was placed against
him. Patrolman Gunsolus saw him walking
along Pennsylvania street, as he says
under the influence of llnuor and yelling at
the top of his voice. When placed under
arrest he Immediately began an assault
upon the officer and fought him all the
way TO the police station
