DYNAMITING FISH. Last Sunday a gang
of Italians were caught in the act of dyna
hitting fish in Marsh river. The local dep
uty warden had had his suspicious aroused
and had been watching the Italians for
some time. Sunday morning when near the
stream he heard an explosion and saw the
water fly and fastening to the spot found
the Italians busily engaged in picking up
the dead fish, mostly suckers and clubs.
There were some two dozen in the party
and the warden was rather at loss what
to do, but he arrested one and sent word to
warden Walter |. Neal, who secured the
names of % in the party. Then came the
question what to do with them. The penalty
for using dynamite is fine of 800 and Sin
addition thereto, two months Imprisonment
in the county jail for each otfense." AS each
individual concerned in the affair was liable
it was evident that the fines could not be
collected, while the contractor, who had
about two more weeks work, said that if
the men were sent to Jail it would brighten
Off others. 1t was settled by the payment
of $40 and warning the men against rep
etition of the otfense.
