An Oil City man, who had been on a
fishing trip up the river, has returned
and is Justly indignant at the slaughter
which is being carried on by the spears
men. He says he saw several men whose
names he knows, with large bass, pike
and salmon in their possession, and the
spear-marks indicated clearly how the
fish had been killed. Not only this, he
also saw the men in the act of spearing
them and saw them land the fish. While
he naturally does not feel like posing in
the capacity of an informer, he states en-
phaticslly that no person, not familiar
with the conditions, can imagine the ex-
tent to which the slaughter of game fish
is being carried. In view of the clrcum-
stances the true sportsmen of Oil City and
this vicinity, who calmly witness the
wanton destruction by these lawless
nightsharks, are truly week-kneed lot,
or they would put forth some efforts to
stop it.-Blizzard.
The main trouble with the 'true sports
men of Oil City" is that they are not
wholly "without sin," hence are in rather
poor position to "cast tne first stone."
If they could be induced to forego their
Sunday onslaught on the piscatoral tribe
it might serve to stiffien up their knees TO
some extent, in which case they might be
able to make the other malefactors respect
the law. The kettle will persist in calling
the pot black. And this reminds us of a
little incident that occurred some years
ago, in which a tipsy Teuton called an old
friend "ein tam rescal.r whats thatr
said the friend as he assumed belliger-
ent attitude, whereupon the former apol-
ogized by saying, "yes, und be elm tam
rescal. We bein bOfe bully tam rescals."
