After The Seiners.

Deputy Pish and Game Commissioner Bay King, of Princeton, caused the arrest of Sidney Holmes, on the Dr. Hartsell farm, and Joe Ellis, tenant on one of John Makeever’s farms, for having fish seins in their possession contrary to law. Squire Troxell heard the cases and fined Holmes |5 and costs, or $33.25. The fine of $5 was remitted. Ellis paid $29.90 for his violation of the law. Search warrants for other supposed violators of the law were issued, but as no seins could be found, no other arrests were made.
