TEN DOLLARS FOR BASS Frederick ECKSTINE, a Trooper resident found a fishing trip along the Perkiomen to be a most expensive day's sport. He secured a fine specimen of rock bass, four inches in length. The specimen proved so handsome that he retained it, contrary to the law. While ECKSTINE was congratulating himself over his capture, the fish warden came around and almost instantly divined the situation. As a result, ECKSTINE became the warden's prisoner and was taken to Norristown, where, before Magistrate LENHARDT, he was arraigned on a charge of illegal fishing. Besides having his sport for the day spoiled and suffering the pain of arrest, ECKSTINE had to pay a fine of $10 and the costs. Considerable complaint has been received by the Fish Commission officials at Harrisburg, from residents along the Perkiomen Creek, relative to Sunday fishing. As a consequence, the fish warden in this district received notices, from the department, to place under arrest all persons known to indulge in Sunday fishing and have the fine of $25 imposed. The warden was also notified to place under arrest all persons caught fishing with more then one rod or line, which is an infraction of the law, and for which a penalty of $25 fine is imposed. SNEAK THIEF GETS AWAY WITH BAKER MONEY Baker S.W. KRATZ, of Souderton, was recently robbed, by a sneak thief. He went into the baking house to pay his employees, depositing several bags containing money on the seat of a wagon in the shed next to the bake house. When he returned it was discovered that one bag, containing $22 was missing. The thief no doubt had been watching Mr. KRATZ counting the money in the office and then saw where the bags were placed. Quickly grabbing the one, the sneak dissappeared in the darkness and as yet there is no clue. Mr. KRATZ considers the act a very contemptible one and will do all in his power to locate the guilty party. WORKER IN BUCKS COUNTY SUNDAY SCHOOLS J.M.
