Capt. Jones Requested to Stay Away
From GuIfport.

The meeting of the stockholders and
directors of the Gulfport and Missis-
sippi Coast Traction Company, which
was called to meet in Gulfport this
week, will not take place on account OF
the quarantine, which prevents the at
tentance of many of those who would
attend from Biloxi and elsewhere. The
meeting has been postponed until Sept.
Is, when it will be held at Sisterville,
w. Va. Among those who will attend
will be Capt. J. T. Jones and Judge
James H. Neville, of Gulfport, and Hon.
w. A. White, of Biloxi. Capt. Jones
left for Sisterville, and will spend few
days at Buffalo, N. Y, before going to
the former place.
Ever since the first appearance of
yellow fever at New Orleans strong
pressure has been brought to bear on
Capt. Jones, to induce him to leave the
zone of possible danger, by both the
people of Gulfport and others interested
with him in gigantic business enter
prlses. This he has persistently refused
to do while there was anything to be
accomplished in keeping the fever away
from the coast or out OF Gulfport. Capt.
Jones has worked hard to this end and
has contributed largely of his means,
and now that the fever has made Its ap-
pearance in Gulfport, there are many
who feel that for him to return to Gulf.
port after the meeting at Sistervilie
would result in more harm than good.
Capt. Jones is no longer young man,
though still robust and vigorous, so
even the mild type Of fever which now
prevails would be a very serious matter
should it attack one of his age and
build. There will be a feeling of relief
at his departure by those who realize
the great work which Capt. Jones has
begun and which he alone can complete
as plapned.-Biloxi Herald.

Easy Victim of Old Game.

Navoni Salvatore, 324 Harriet
street, was the victim yesterday of a
trick that has been successfully played
by Italian bunko men for years in this
city. On Wednesday morning he met
two Italians on Market street and af-
ter talking with them for a few min
utes they invited him into saloon to
have drink. Salvatore was piled
with liquor till he was intoxicated and
then the two men offered to sell him
a valuable truck garden in Sonoma
County for $525. Salvatore agreed to
the proposition and handed over the
money in gold coin. which the two
men placed in tin box. After a few
more drinks the men remarked that
they had sold the truck garden too
cheap and declared the deal off, They
handed Salvatore a tin box which they
said contained his money and left the
saloon. When Salvatore opened the
box he found it was filled with wash
ers instead of gold coin. the bunko
men having substituted the box for
the one Containing the coin.

STREAMS DRAW
EAGER ANGLERS

The anglers have been surprised to
find the water in some Of the big
streams lower this time than it was
in midsummer of last year. An en-
thusiast in the sport explains that
while there was a heavy rainfall dur
ing the past winter. there was not so
much snow on the mountains as in
the previous year. When the sum-
mer heat began TO melt the snow last
year the streams naturally became
higher.
The trout are taking the fly on the
Truckee at the present time because
of the cold weather. Later on the
fly fishing will be bad for time when
the heat begins to melt whatever
snow is on the nearby mountains.
The recent storm is not expected to
interfere with the fly fishing to-mor-
row if the clear weather continues.
The bait fishing is sure to be good
Last Sunday was an off day, as the
life off the streams The rains since
then are expected to improve the
sport. Any fish in the lagoons and in
tide water will go up the streams.
This would mean fresh run Of fish
ranging from six to ten inches in
length.
Some limit baskets have been taken
recently in the east branch Of the
Sequel near Santa Cruz. One man
landed a sixteen-inch fish. He also
saw several steelheads weighing from
three to four pounds.
Louis Boutellier secured q fine bas-
ket of trout some days since on the
San Gregoria near San Mateo.
William Jansen rode from this city
to the PurissiIna recently and caught
a limit basket of trout and then rode
L. - l. Il - -
Al Cummings continues to send
glowing accounts of the fishing at
klamath. The weather is fine and the
catch for a day is usually twenty fish
weighing from one-half to four
pounds. The best results are obtained
at present with the spoon.
W. F. Bogart received word during
the week that fly fishing is good at
Sims on the Upper Sacramento and he
will be on the famous stream to-day.
The weather was not favorable for
striped bass fishing last Sunday. al
though some good fish were taken
One man landed a seven-pound steel
head near San Pablo and almost i'm
mediately afterward hooked and
landed twenty-pound bass. He used
a Wilson bass spoon.
