Prosecute two Flanders Fishermen.
[From our German Valley Correspondent
Frank Hildebrant and William L.
Morgan, of Flanders, who had never
tished for ''game fish, recently made
a fairly good catch at Budd's Lake.
When they went ashore at noon, Fish
Warden j. B. Henderson,, Newton,
and made an examination.
He found one pickerel, as he claimed,
just three-eighths of an inch undersize.
Hildebrant and Morgan offered to
throw the fish back into the lake,
but Mr.. Fish Warden retained it.
After keeping the fish long enough in
his possession to let it die, he returned
and secured the names and addresses
Of the fishermen, saying that he would
report the case to his superior, Com
missioner Riley, of Newark. Senator
Welsh, of our town, also saw Com
missioner Riley, and the sequel is but
the repetition of Webster and the

sonating Daniel, Warden Hender-
shot, Ezekiel, and Commissioner
Riley, Father Webster, and the ver-
dict was Henderson, let those fisher
men go and take a few lessons in
measuring fish.
