.si 12 THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, THURSDAY JUNE 2, 189a BROKE UP THE GANG. Tcgleg Collins Makes a Confession to Fish Warden Hague. 3IANY FARMERS ARE IMPLICATED. Another Successful Raid Is Made Up the Allegheny Tallej. IXFOEM ATIONS TO BE MADE AT ONCE "Pegleg" Collins, the alleged ringleader of a gang organized along the Allegheny river to seine and catch fish illegally, is to he arrested by Fish "Warden J. W. Hague. His arrest, it is thought, will break up the organization and leave the river tree. Monday Mr. Hague and a deputy made a raid on Collins. He lives about two miles above Freeport on the Allegheny river. His dwelling is a slab cabin 10x12 and nearly concealed by the drpoping leaves of a great maple tree. Collins practically con trolled the river from Oil City to Acme tonia. "He had quite a number of people under him," said Mr. Hague, "and on his list of deputies could be found some of the most prominent farmers of that county. "With 'Pegleg' as a leader they felt safe, and openly boasted that no man would dare in terfere with their chief. 'Peglejr,' too, had declared he would shoot the first man who would try to put a stop to his manner of earning a livelihood. For a number of years Collins and his gang have had full sway. So well have they worked the river that a person with hook and line got but few bites. IVclet; Kept tlie Fancy Fish. "Tne business was quite remunerative, and the terms between the members of the organization and its chief were decidedly in favor of the leader. The farmers and the lesser lights in the gang got the common fish, while 'Peglee' took charge of all the game catches. These he sold to parties owning fishponds at a good margin." The Fish "Warden had been notified of Collins' depredations, and on several oc casions he had tried to get his hands on him, but, as slippery as the fish he en snared, Collins eluded him each time. Mon day Mr. Hague's visit was unexpected to "Pegleg," and when the raiders ar rived at Collins' shanty they found him within. The reception re ceived from the chief of the fish seiners was not too cordial. When Mr. Hague made known his business Collins acted very ugly. Although the fellow has a pegleg, he is a big and powerful man, weighing over 200 pounds. As Mr. Hague told him he wai there to destroy his appliances for illegally catching fish, the big lellow made a move toward his rifle, which was hanging on the wall. He was quickly interrupted und forced to give up. IIa;ue Burned T7p tile Seine. On the wall was hanging a net over GO yards long. The Fish Warden asked him if it was his, and Collins replied that it was, but said he never used it. An exam ination of the net proved the opposite. Mr. Hague took it from the wall and procuring a hatchet chopped the net into a hundred pieces. He then built a fire and burned the thing. By this time "Pegleg" saw he was get ting the worst of it and commenced plead ing for mercy. He confessed to having been engaged in the seining business, but promised that if he was not arrested he would turn his labors in some other direc tion. Collins' house was searched, but no other seines or tackle could be found. Tiie big fellow finally owned that he had other nets, but they were now in the hands of some of the members of the gang, and just who had them he did not know. He gave Mr. Hague a list of all the people who were engaged with him in illegal fish catch ing and confessed to having some interests along the Monongahela river. "Will Prosecute All tho Members. The "Warden did not arrest him, but after he came home he thoueht it would be bet ter to do so, aud made information against him. He thinks if Collins is arrested the gang would be broken up. He intends, however, to proceed against all the mem bers. There is a trammel net at Freeport he has not gotten yet He expects to go after it m a few days. There is also a seine at the soda wors further down the river he intends getting. "With all these appliances out of the road the fair fisher man will have a good show. J.he anlen was at Iiogansport on Mon dav also. Near there he found a three-iun-neled five-hooped net hanging on the brush drying. He cut it down and burned it. The net belonged to a man named Miller, but he could not be found. He is a mem ber of "Pegleg's" gang. A FREE SILVER VOTE PUT OFF. The Senate Agrees to Let It Go Over fork Couple of Weeks Senator BUI Votes "With the Free Silver Men Jherman Flnlshei nil Speech. "Washington, June 1. There is to be no vote on the "free silver" coinage bill in the House or on any amendment to it until after the Minneapolis Convention shall have closed; and in all probability there will be none until after the Chicago Convention shall also come to an end. The Senate voted to-dav on the suggestion of Mr. Aldrich, and without a single dissent from either side of the Chamber, that no vote should be taken on the bill until alter the 14th of June. This agreement was arrived at after Mr. Sherman had closed his two days' argnment against the bill, which his last words characterized as "A frightful demon to be resisted and opposed." He spoke for an hour to-dav. Mr. Hill did him the honor of being a close listener. He was followed by Mr. Stewart, who had not a half dozen listeners on his own side of the chamber, and who therefore ad dressed himself almost exclusively to an audience of Democratic Senators. There were two interesting incidents in the morn ing hour, the introduction of the new Sena tor from Virginia (General E. P. Hunton), and one which had the effect of getting the first direct vote from Senator Hill on a financial question. On a simple House bill Mr. Hill voted with the free silver men. A stranger desiring an insight into the peculiar rules which govern the House in its deliberations might have been interested in the proceedings of that body to-day, but few others would have viewed them with mnch pleasure. Almost the whole day was consumed in discussions of points of order, and little business of any importance was transacted. CUMBERLAND, SID. NE7V ADVERTISEMENTS. OXFORDS AT POPULAR PRICES.
