ADVENTURE in VIRGINIA.
North East Fishermen Find A Lively
Sheriff in the Old Dominion
State

Captain Charles Pearce and party o,
fishermen set sail from North East severa
weeks ago on the schooner "Ruby," to spend
sometime fishing on the James River, yir-
ginia. They made their headquarters at
Doran Point, but it seems, the happy fishing
camp was rudely broken up by lively
Sheriff OF the Old Dominion State, in the en- 4.
forcement of the law forbdding non-residents
to east their nets in the historic James.
C. Wesley Cooper was one of the party
and he arrived home on Saturday, with u
great account of their Virginia experience.
He stated that on Monday OF last week they
began fishing hauling seine, with splendid
success. catching quantities of perch, rock
and bass and all went well until Wednesday
when the sheriff of Charles City county sud.
denly appeared on the scene for the purpose
of making their arrest. Cooper took the
cross-country means Of escape, and, after
traversipg several miles Of marsh and swanps
during the night and losing some clothing e
carried with him, finally. reached Claremont
from where he took the steamerto Old Point
thence to Baltimore, and arrived home Sat-
urday.
In the pursuit he states the Virginia officials
at one time were uncomfortably close When
asked about the others of the party, he said
he could not tell, but presumed they evaded
arrest also. He stated the catch of fish in the
few days had amounted to several hundred
dollars.
