A Lewiston Journal special says: Win
neSance creek. where there has been a
clash Tor years between bass fishermen
and fish wardens. is said to have come
near being the scene of bloodshed, Mon
day afternoon. Fish Warden James Bal
ley of Bath. and several fishermen resi-
dents of Winnegance and Phippsburg,
taking part in the affair. ss-
1t appears that since the repeal of the
special law governing bass fishing at VIM
neSance creek, by the last Legislature
fishermen have ignored the old common
law which does not permit the setting of
nets crosSwiSe of channels.
Monday. Warden Bailey went to the
creek, where he found Il nets set cross
wise of the channel. He seized 16 of
them and destroyed them. In attempting
to seize the other one which was owned
by Charles Preble of Winnegance Bailey
ard the owner of the net had a set-tO
which was not governed by the Marquis
of Queensberry rules. The fish warden
rather got the worst of the scrimmage,
being thrown down and dragged some dis
lance on the ice before he regained q
foothold.
Then it is claimed that Bailey made an
attempt to draw revolver from his
pocket. when one of the fishermen. who
was armed with double-barrel breech-
loading shotgun. told the warden that If
he pulled a firearm he would drop him
with both barrels. the fisherman raising
his gun as if in the act to get ready to
fire. The net was left there, the fisher
men that had gathered being too much
for the plucky warden
A case in court will probably grow out
of the fight. The fishermen claim that
they have a right to set nets as they
please at Winnegance. on the ground that
the place does not come under the term
of navigable waters.
On the other hand. Warden Bailey con-
tends that the creek is navigable and
proposes to execute the law and prosecute
all offenders and destroy all nets found
in the creek that are not set lawfully.

Fish Wardens and Winnegance
Fishermen in Conflict.
Wardens Seize II Nets One Said to
Have Been Roughly HardIed.
One Story Tells Of How Hip Pocket Motion
Was Stopped.

Bath, Dec. 2S.-Fish Wardens Bailey
and Bates made visit to Winnegance
creek, yesterday forenoon, and cap
tured II fish nets which were set for
bass in violation of the law relating to
bass fishing. The nets We're all in
more than two feet of water at low
tide The wardens gave out notice to
the fishermen several days: ago that
they must carry on their work this
year within the law and allowed them
plenty of time to fix their nets.
The visit, yesterday, was made for
the purpose of obtaining evidence and
the result was most satisfactory to the
wardens. They pulled II nets and al
though there were no marks on any
of them to prove who were the owners,
five fishermen stepped forward and
claimed that they owned some of them
1t is reported that quite a rough and
tumbled battle was held during the
seizure but Warden Bailey when seen
by the Times said nobody was hurt or
frightened.
We went there to obtain evidence as
to who were the owners of some of the
nets and found out by voluntary testi-
mony from five men who claimed part
of them. We were threatened, but pro-
ceeded with our work and although one
OF the fishermen had gun and an
other an axe, they did not do us any
injury
From the reports around town, last
evening. one would suppose that War
den Bailey received pretty rough hand
ling during the seizure. but he said,
this morning, that he had lost no sleep
over the matter.
The fishermen cannot be reaping q
rich harvest for the officers only landed
three small bass in the II nets that
they pulled. They weighed about 2ls,

Trouble Started Oyer
Arrest of Two Men
by the Officers.
Four Fined This Morning


A street row occurred last Saturday
evening in which at least doren men
who were considerable the worse for
drink participated. The row ended in
the arrest OF five OF the party and il ID
probable that more will be appreciated
for taking part in the fracas.
According TO the officers account OF the
trouble, the men who were all in a party
were making themselves obnoxiou. by
their noise on Eighth street, when a eou-
pie OF other men came along and soon a
rumpus occurred bets cen the two par
ties. Marshal Beck heard the noise and
arrived on the scene Just 10 tine TO ar
rest two OF the party who were fighting.
he started toward the jail with them,
but bad not gone far wh,n be met Officer
StukeI, who took charge OF one OF the
men.
Going down Portland street they were
overtaken by the remainder OF the party,
who waded into the officers. The leader
got after Beck, who dropped bis prisoner
and began fighting with the man who
attacked him. About this time Officer
Ward arrived on the scene and tried to
aid the other officers who had about all
they could do.
The fight was general for some little
time and the officers were compelled TO
use their billies with which they hit come
oil the party over the head, but did not
pull their revolYers. One OF the party
succeeded in wrestling billy from an off,
Ger and commenced pounding Beck freely
with it over the head while the marshal
was trying TO hold down his man. The
marshal went around yesterday with a
sore head az a result OF the row.
Finally the officers succeeded in get
ting some OF the party in their control
and, Bobbie Williams happening along
with bis stage, he wss pressed into ser.
vice with his police patrol and i've OF the
gang were dumped into the rig and
taken TO the jail where they spent the
night.
Yesterday morning they were all al |
lowed their freedom, but some were I'D |

Arrested While Garry
ing Away Their
Plumber.


Last night the marshal arrested three
youngsters who were caught in the very
act oil getting away with a lot OF plumber
which they had stolen from the Eagle
drugs the stock OF which was partly
damaged by fire the other night.
A man who was passing through the
baseball field saw the boys with a small
sl'igh which they were loading with
books and as be thought the boys were
up TO something. when he got to Red
Jacket he informed the marshal OF their
proceedings. Mr. Beck followed TO the
held where he caught the youngsters
among the logs wondering what 10 do
with their plumber.
The appearance OF the officer fright.
ened them and they soon acknowledged
their guilt. They had gained an en-
trance to the store from the rear and
made OF with what books they could get
hold OF in short order. They had
them all piled % on the small hand sled.
The marshal returned the stolen prop
erty and walked the boys OF TO the vii
lage jail where be kept them for a short
time Until they were thoroughly repent
ant and then allowed them tbeirfreedom.

Political Pointers.

The gold Democrats are making large
accessions to their ranks everywhere. and
expect to poll a much larger vote this
year than last.
The Populists of the country are thor
oughly Disguised with the treatment
which the Democracy have given them,
and are developing the greatest hostility
to further attempts at fusion.
The director OF the United States mint.
who is the best authority in this country
on currency matters, predicts that silver
will fall much lower in the next few
months. 1t is already at the lowest point
in its entire history.
The money in circulation in the United
States has increased about $130,0Q0,O0O
in the past year. the price Of foreign pro-
duets has advanced. and the business OF
the country has greatly improved despite
the assertions that nothing but The free
coinage of silver would bring an increase
of money or prices to the people of this
country.
The people who attempted to make the
people believe a few months ago that Sec
rotary Sherman had passed the period OF
active usefulness are saying nothing more
on that subject. Secretary Sherman's
expressions Of views on current political
topics are clear crisp and vigorous, and
strike n responsive chord in the hearts OF
every American citizen.
People who are assuming that the re-
cent great gold developments are mere
matter of good luck to those opposing the
rs to | theory are mistaken. IL is more
than luck: IL Is the logic Of events The
fact that the world prefers gold to the
bulky white metal Ms its medium Of OK
change has stimulated the production OF
gold everywhere until il seems likely TO
supply the needs Of the world for a money
metal.
