John'A. Buckley ard Ernest Wright,
both of whom are we'll known as two
of Augustus most successful fishermen.
We're the victims of a cruel Joke a few
days ago, and it was the more cruel
as it was the means of both of them
breaking promise. The two started
out for quiet fishing trip to Belgrade
and as they were going to a favorite
fishing ground where bass are known
to abound in large numbers, they
promised some of their friends that
they would bring them a fish on their
return to town. They reached their
destination all right and as the fish
were biting well it did not take a great
while to catch all that the law allowed.
3'fhese were placed in bag and laid in
the bottom of the wagon. but when af-
ter the two fishermen had made sec
"nd trip over 10 the stream to see some
friends they returned to hitch up the
| morse, the bag was gone. and they
were unable to find it. AS they had al
ready caught all the bass that the law
! allowed then the only thing to do was
Ito go home and endeavor in the mean
4 time to frame up an exclamation to
offer those to whom they had promised
h the nSh. This part of the business was
disposed of to their satisfaction and
the incident would have been forgotten
had not Mr.. Bucyley on going to the
stable next morning smelled a strong
odor of fish, or to state it more cor
rectly. an odor of strong fish. An in
vestigation disclosed the bag with the
fish still in it tied close to the frame
of theswagon and the mystery was dis
nellad

y 1t appears from the evidence that
there were two methods of sailing
herring for conveyance for smoking
purposes. One is to salt the cargo On
deck and the other to salt it by sluic-
ing the herring into the boat. The
latter method was the one employed
by the plaintiff. Several witnesses
state that this is not only the proper
method but the modern one of loading
herring. No negligence can be rea-
sonably inferred with respect to the
quantity of salt used upon this cargo.
The issue therefore narrows down to
the method employed. Upon this
point one of the defendants witnesses
testified as follows: @. What
method did they use for sailing the
herring. Did they sluice them or did
they salt them on deck? A. They
sluiced them. This refers to the
plaintiffs method of sailing them.
Then he asked: Q. How did you
load your boat, did you sluice them in
your boat? A. Yes sir. @. And salt
them as they go in the sluice? A.
Yes sir
The evidence not only seems to war
quite satisfactory established the fact
that the method employed by the
plaintiff was the common one used at
the present time. We are of the opin-
ion also that from the evidence the
jury were warranted in the inference,
if they saw fit to draw it, that the
method of sailing was properly exc
cuted No evidence of any negligence
on the part of the plaintiff during the
voyage appears. Therefore the con-
fict of evidence/as to the condition of
the fish when they arrived at the
wharf at PASSPORT becomes immaterial.
The jury found that the plaintiff ex-
ercised reasonable care in shipping ana
conveying the fish which as a matter
of law was the full measure of the
plaintiffs duty. But the condition Of
the fish when they arrived at PASSPORT
was a mere matter of controversy be-
tween the plaintiff and defendant from
the evidence Of which we think a YER
dict in favor of the plaintiff could not
be properly disturbed.
Motion OVerruled.
