EACH CLAIMS TO
Be DESERTED ONE
PECULIAR DIVORCE CASE IN
SAN BERNARDINO
Sportsmen Indignant on Learning of
the Destruction of Trout by
Pot Fishermen by Use of
Dynamite -.
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
SAN BERNARDINO, April IA pc
culiar situation presented itself in the
divorce case of L. Whittemore VS.. Mrs.
Mabel Whittemore of Redlands, in
which Judge Oster has refused to grant
decree to either of the parties.
Whittemore testified that his wife had
deserted him, much against his wishes
and desires. He blamed his mother-in-
law for the trouble.
His wife then took the stand and
testified that her husband had deserted
her and that against her wishes. Each
swore that they had not deserted the
other.
AS both of the parties bear good rep
utations the court was compelled to
give due weight to the testimony of
both, and after giving the parties some
excellent advice refused to grant the
decree at this time, though each party
was anxious for the decree.
"Pot" Fishermen at Work
Local sportsmen are highly indignant
at continued reports coming from the
mountains that pot" fishermen are
raiding the trout streams in a most
ruthless manner by dynamite and ordi-
nary fishing methods. Riverside and
Redlands sportsmen are also aroused
and it is expected that patrols will be
placed on the principal streams the
balance of the closed season. The
sportsmen of the city have in recent
years expended considerable sums in
restocking these streams, and feel very
indignant that they should now be
stripped by 'pot" fishermen. 1t is al
legged that considerable trout have
been brought into this and other sur
rounding cities recently and sold. There
is no game warden in this city, but If
the present disregard of the game laws
continues it is probable that an effort
will be made to have one named.
