authorities of Josephine County, Oregon, who
issued warrant for Nelson.
The next step would have been for the Ore
gon authorities, acting on this warrant, to
send extradition papers to the Governor of
California; but an unexpected difficulty arose
in an uncertainty whether Bains Station was
in Josephine County or Curry County. No one
knew which county it was in.
The line between the two counties is the
watershed between two streams; but as
there are no streams anywhere around Bain's
Station, there can be no certainty, until sur
vey is made, whether it is on one side of the
watershed or the other; and proper survey
would involve much time and expense.

TT seems strange that there should be places in
i the United States where people may live
long time without knowing what State
they are in; but such places are found to exist.
One of these is Bain's Station-now known
to be in Oregon, but for sometime supposed
to be in California. And at last accounts,
though it was known that the place was in
Oregon, it was not known whether it was in
Josephine or Curry County.
One spring man was murdered near Bain's
Station, and his body was thrown into well.
In the summer the body was found, and man
named Nelson was suspected of the crime.
Nelson was arrested in California; but before
taking further proceedings the California
authorities, who were doubtful of their rights
in the matter, caused survey of the place to
be made and it was shown to everybody S
satisfaction that Bain's Station was in Oregon.
This fact was promptly telephoned to the

Playing the Monster

THEN comes the playing, that consists OF
i pressing upon the leather brake when you
can, giving the butt above all keeping cool 1t IS
an easy matter to advise keeping cool but when
a six-foot tarpon is hanging overhead, its hyp-
motto eye fastened upon you, it is difficult.
The average tarpon can be brought to gait in
twenty minutes; but there is the greatest differ
ence in individuals. In tuna fishing you nay
circle the school and cast into it-a difficult
feat, as the bait, flying fish, is heavy-or
You may troll. There is no still fishing for
tuna; trolling at four or five miles hour is
the approved method. The fish, generally a
pair, strike on the dead run, and with incon-
ceivable rapidity take from two hundred to
four hundred feet of line, despite the anglers
protest.
The tuna does not leap after being hooked;
but it charges the boat, sulks, and, worse, tows
the heavy boat determinedly often for hours
One fish towed me for at least ten miles before
i killed it, and all the time with the oars of my
boatman overheard trying to tire it. To sue
cessfully play such game the angler should be
in fair condition, as it is contest to the finish
in one round and no rest. While you are rest
ing, the tuna or tarpon is recouping its energies.
Skill and experience will enable a strong man
or woman to kill such fish, when an unskilled
Hercules would fail. One should know just
when to reel how far to push the fish, when to
use the brake, and how much, by intuition.
All this comes by experience: it cannot be
taught. There is no school for anglers, though
the ideal teacher is good boatman or gaffer,
and, big fish on the line, an hours struggle
will equip the angler with valuable experience.
Both the tuna and tarpon are delight givers
in every sense. They afford one the excite
think some of the sea anglers who have played
and fought tarpon and tuna in smooth water
and in the heavy surf for from four to fourteen
hours.

fine play along the surface. 1t was gaffad and
hauled in but the moment it struck the bot
tom of the boat it doubled, leaped into the air,
and fell on the gunwale, capsizing the boat
My companion could not swim, SO was placed
on the bottom, which just held him. while the
boatman and / began the disagreeable swim
to the launch, which had broken down for the
moment. The boatman towed the tuna, tn ::

He saved the fish; but we were weary before
it was finally accomplished. This fish weighed
only ninety-fve pounds.
A small boat was found drifting off the coast
of Texas which contained dead angler and a
dead tarpon. The fish evidently had leaped
aboard and broken the anglers neck. In fish
ing off this coast insisted on my boatman's
taking the tarpon into the small boat, which,
in consequence, was nearly wrecked, the fish
tossing chairs, oars, rods, and boatman in
every direction-a dangerous proceeding, at
least an uncomfortable one, in shark infested
pass. The boatman said he would not make
the one hundred-yard swim for five thousand
dollars.
In fishing for tarpon there are several meth
ods-still fishing, anchored, and trolling. OF
the two prefer the last. In Florida, where
the water was deeper, used fifty feet of line;
in the Texas passes as little as twenty feet

powerful game and accord it the advan-
tage; and in following out this idea,
sport has been developed in the United States
which has literally commanded the attention of
the world. To kill a hJrse mackerel with rope
and ten men, as they do at the mouth of the
St. Lawrence, S not sport; but to kill the tuna
cuttyhunk line and rod and reel, ind bring
it to gaff in from one to four hours, or tarpon
in Florida, g Texas, or Louisiana, in the same
time and way, 5 sport at its best.
There are three specific fields IN America
for big game nshes. One is the winter tarpon
ground of Tampico, Mexico. a splendid field
for SPORT the coast from Arkansas Pass, Texas,
to Pass Christian, Louisiana; and the entire
coast of Florida from Tampa to the St. Johns,
for tarpon; and on the Pacific coast the four
mile run at Santa Catalina for the leaping tuna.
The tarpon and tuna are in class by them
selves; there is nothing to compare to them
in the world of fishing, and it may be said that
they are satisfying to the strenuous angler:
What more splendid sight can be imagined
than the rise of six or seven-foot tarpon into
the air, with the torpedo like burst of spray,
followed by the dazzling flashes of light as it
swings itself from side to side? That there is
such a thing as tarpon and tuna fever will not
be gainsaid by some who have followed this
game
To take these big fishes certain tackle is
necessity. The rod should be from seven to
nine feet in length, very short one being un-
sportsmanhke, while very long one makes
tuna fishing an impossibility. Seven feet is
good average. 1t should be in two pieces; a
short butt and long tip. The guides and tip
should be of agate the fittings of German sill
yer; the reel seat solid. Such rod costs from
twenty-five to seventy-6ve dollars, and is of
greenheart hollywood split bamboo, batha-
bara, or ironwood. The reel is splendid COM
bination of German silver and rubber, nicely
made as watch, and large enough to hold
six hundred feet of the No. line. Such reels
cost from eighteen to seventy-five dollars.
cheap reel means failure The line which
costs about four dollars or more, should be the
best twenty-one thread in the market. The
leader should be piano phosphor bronze
wire, eight feet long, or six feet long and the
line doubled for six feet-this for the gaffer to
take when the fish comes to gaf. The leader
of wire should have three links, each connected
by brass swivel. The hook is a No. Iolo
O'Shaughnessy, or a tarpon and tuna Van
Week, named after the well known tarpon
and tuna expert. With this equipment and
with three lines, two or three rods, or one rod
and several tips. the angler is ready.
Special Boats Required
IT is necessary to have boat prepared for the

purpose. They are eighteen twenty feet,

sport, and the fleet of tuna boats which
find snug harbor at Avalon, are built for the
purpose. They are eighteen or twenty feet,
four or eight-power launches, wide of beam
and comfortable. In the stern are two chairs,
in which the anglers sit facing it. each having
between his knees and fastened to the chairs
a leather socket for the butt of the rod to work
in when playing the big game-this is abso-
lutely essential
In fishing the gaffer, who is also the engineer,
sends the launch slowly along, standing just
behind the anglers, the small engine being
amidships, ready to stop and back at the
strike. Such a boat makes angling for tuna
safe, small boat being constant menace.

ROADS IN OPERATION
Calhoun Says Service Will
Continue Till Midnight
Next Week
CARS NEED REPAIRS
Cornelius Declares That Ac-
cidents Will Prevent
Travel

With the operation Of the Fillmore
street extension every line of the
United Railroads was kept In operation
yesterday until after dark.
Beginning this evening the company
will attempt to operate cars on most o1
its lines till 8 o'clock. A schedule con-
tinuing till midnight is expected to be
In force early next week. President
Calhoun said last night that the salts
faction of the company with the situa-
ton was daily increasing. and that the
number of passengers patronizing the
cars was steadily growing.
President Cornelius Of the carmen's
union. on the other hand, declared in
the statement that he issued last night
that the number Of passengers was less
yesterday than it was earlier in the
week. The reason for this, he declared,
was that cars were getting into bad
shape and had to be laid up for re-
pairs.
In it's daily statement Of acts Of vio-
lence on the part of strike sympathizers
the United Railroads reported about a
dozen or more cases Of lines being tenn
porarily tied up by distractions on the
tracks.
Car 1914, according to the report, was
stoned at Sixth and Point Lobos ave-
nues in the morning and number of
windows broken. No arrests were
made.
The conductor on car 1888 was
struck on the neck with a slungshot
thrown by a man on a bicycle and
paralyzed so badly that he could not
move his legs or arms. The conductor
on another car pursued the man on the
wheel, but he escaped.
A Valencia street car, left unnamed
for a moment at the top Of the grade
leading from Randall street to Twenty
eighth. suddenly started down the in
cline. Several vehicles and pedestrians
narrowly avoided being struck by the
runaway, which turned into Valencia
street and crashed into a Polk and
Larkin street car at Duncan street.

coaches. No one was injured.
Jim Farley was seen at several of
the barns yesterday. He was looking
after the interests of his men In the
various quarters and seemed well sat
isfied with conditions. The arrests of
the day numbered less than a dozen
and none OF them was for q serious
offense.
In his statement given out last night
Cornelius. among other things, said:
The United Railroads In it's desperation is
resorting TO the most despicable tactics. 1t has
hired a band OF detectives from every quarter
our members They wait until midnight before
they make any arrests. just as II that kind
of thing made any difference to Us. We shall
prove our innocence Of any crime at the proper
time
There are less cars on the fines Of the United
Railroads today than there were several days
ago. The reason for this is that the cars are
itself more from this time on by the number
OF accidents which will be occurring.

MADRU ON HIS DEATHbED
SAYS STRIKER SHOT HIM
Victim of Mysterious Trag-
edy in Van Ness Avenue
Passes Away
TELLS NEW VERSION
Police Believe That He Was
Shielding Woman to
the Last

L. r. Madru, the waiter who was shot
during a brawl on Monday night at
Van Ness avenue and Oak street. died
last night at the Clara Barton hospital.
Before breathing his last Madru added
more mystery to the tragedy by max.
Ing dying statement In which he said
that he was attacked by crowd Of
men. one of whom shot him. With his
dying breath he declared that the man
who fired the fatal shot was striking
carman and formerly worked on either
the Eddy or Ellis street line.
Prior to last night Madru had stated
that he was shot by a mysterious man
who was accompanied by q woman.
She had implored the assailant not to
shoot.
Assistant District Attorney Levey
and Detective Steve Bunner went 20
the hospital last night to take Madru's
dying statement He realized that the
end was near and, though weak from
loss of blood. his mind was clear and
he spoke f1uently.
According to his statement he left
the Lenox saloon in Willow avenue and
walked toward Market street. When
he reached Van Ness avenue and Oak
street eight or nine men jumped upon
him. One of the men, described as
being about 80 years old and more than
six feet tall, struck him on the head
with a blunt instrument and then shot
him. Before firing the shot Madru
said. his assailant called him a dirty
soab." Madru declares that the men
ran away as soon a. he fell.
Madru claimed that he recognized
the man who did the shooting as
striking carman who formerly worked
on the Eddy or Ellis street line. He
said that he had met his assailant
several times In q saloon In Clement
street.
The story that Madru had told at
nrst was that he was approached by u
man who was walking rapidly along
the street with q woman. After q few
hot words had been exchanged the
mysterious man shot him. despite the
entreaties Of his companion not to use
the weapon.
In his dying statement Madru do
clared that there was no woman In the
case. He leaves q wife and three chill
dren.
Detective Steve Bunner IL very much
puzzled over the mysterious tragedy.
He Is still inclined to the belief that
a woman is connected with the mys-
terry and that Madru shielded her even
on his deathbed.
