Another case of dynamiting a trout stream came to ihe attention of Fish Warden Mcintosh, from Marsh Creek, near Howard, It bappened that Rev, Wolfe, who for the past week has been holding Evangelistic meetings in Moyer's woods at Colyer, was fishing in the above creek, and he was arrested, sup. posed to know something of the dyna. miting. Later developments revealed the guilty parties and Mr. Wolfe was exonerated of all guilt, A letter written by Fish Warden Mcintosh to Mr. Wolfe, says that he was wrongly accused and the case against him had been dropped. It is only fair to the gentleman that the correct facts are made known, since a rumor circulated about the south side of Potter township that the preacher was guilty of a violation of the fish laws, C—O RAS.
