The trout season has been open now for since 156th and quite a number of trout have been caught, Many per- sons have put in the best part of the past week in casting lines along the several streams, while others antic- ipate spending a day or so in fishing. Most of the streams in this vicinity have been stocked by the state fishery commission, and portions of the streams into which the spawn has been put are claimed as “private streams’ by the persons through whose land the water flows. In accordance with an opinion recently handed down in the supreme court by Judge Bterrett, streams are not private unless the fish are propagated, which means that screens must be used in the streams. In the first place the spawn must be kept separate, then the small fish are put into another screen cell, and so on to take Even then they are to be kept within a large screen cell if the party who raises them want to own them. Only so much of that is within the screens placed there by the owner. The case in question was Benssoter vs, Long, Luzerne county. A contin- as men. The plaintift put a lot of small trout into the stream, and when they became large enough the defendant fished them out. Suit was brought and the plaintiff’ said it was a private stream as the dividing line ran more than half way across the stream. It was shown that the plaintiff did not propagate the fish, but merely put them iuto the stream to get along as best they could, No stream is private unless the propagation is carried on as previously stated. A pond surround- ed by the owner's land, without any continuous flow, can be called a pri- vate pond. Judge Sterrett in the syllabus of the “If the waters of a pond and a CASE SAYS by a part of the water, places fish therein for the purpose of propagation, private pond, within the meaning of the act of June 3, 1878. Neither is a notice that ‘‘all persons are hereby no- tified not to trespass on these lands or fish in this pond, under the penalty of the law,” a sufficient notice under the act of June 3, 1878; either to strangers or to neighbors.”’ He continues that: “The mere plac- ing of fish in a pond, without any im- provement whatever for the propaga- tion of fish or of game fish, is sufficient to place the pond within the protee- tion of the act of June 3, 15875, Our town in repairing the short dis tance on the pike, paid out of the boro funds some $400. It was contemplated to repair the pike all thro the town, it would cost the taxpayers no less than three thousand dollars to do it! yet it is in clear violation of law, and a bold imposition upon the citizens. Think of the tax this will bring upon you if it is permitted to go on. Already upwards of $1500 have been wrongfully spent for the benefit of favorites, outside of the proper expen- ses, in the few years since this is a bo- ro, and when the size of the town is considered, we submit, it looks like a big game of corruption in certain quar- ters played against the tax-payers for whose good we are raising the alarm, pinion Some time ago in Williamsport An- drew Anderson had a number of em- ployes arrested for working for the Philadelphia and Reading railroad on Sunday.
