"Too Much Time" Leads to Arrests

According to the reports of the harbor
police precinct, too much time was re-
sponsible for two fishermen from Alexan-
dria, who were operating net in the wa
tiers of the District, being captured a night
or two ago. The harbor officers were out
in the power launch Major Sylvester and it
was we'll after midnight. The boat was
drifting with the tide and the men aboard
her were half drowsy, when a bell was
heard. The launch was quietly headed In
the direction ofsthe sound. 1t only took a
minute or two to run down net drifting in
the tide. Following the net boat with two
men in it was overhauled. In the boat was
an alarm clock, and that was the undoing
of the fishermen.
The men had started out early in the
evening, before the tide was right for the
drifting of net. and had INDUCED in a
nap while waiting the tide. They had an
alarm clock with them. and this had been
wound up but before the time set for it to
go of the men had awakened and started
operations. In the excitement. of landing
shad and herring they forgot all cbout the
clock, until the alarm sounded and led the
police to them and landed them in the Po-
lice Court where they had to pay fine.
