Near Wilkes Barre on Monday George
Il. Reilley, a special game warden, ap-
pointed by the state, was arrested by the
state constabulary and charged with
catching l3O trout all under six inches in
length and disposing of them to one of
the prominent clubs of that city. he was
fined $1,000 or serve one day for each dol
lar of the fine in Jail. An appeal was
taken and the case will be tried in the
local courts. The fish were shown as
evidence at the trial, And so it seems
that fish wardens are also some times
"csught with the goods"

While Tionesta can boast of more
rods of flag, cement and brick walks, all
handsome and substantial, than any town
of its size in the state, there are still some
ramshackle board walks that beggar de-
scription. The borough dads have been
after these delinquents but little heed has
been given to notifications. Among the
worst of these makeshifts is the walk
leading to the river bridge, which is
travelled more than any other in town.
Some one ought to ''ginger up" and
bring about more respectable condition
of affairs. Don't wait till there's bad
accident and big bill of costs and dam
ages saddled upon the lot owner.

of the Republican candidates for county
treasurer at the recent primaries, was
visitor in town yesterday. John was as
