ermen's union, was the man who lost
his boat and gear this afternoon, when he
attempted to test the order of the State
Board of Fish Commissioners In closing
the Willamette and Clackamas rivers to
salmon fishing from March 1 to May 1.
iAune, with several other fishermen,
went out in the stream after noon today,
when the statutory close season ended,
and Water Bailiff Trembath promptly
arrested him. This afternoon Aune was
indicted by the grand Jury. He was re
leased on $100 cash bail.
Thomas Brown, who operates a fish
market, was also arrested today upon
a grand Jury indictment, charging him
with having steelhead fish in his pos
session a" few days ago. He is out on
bail.
The aotion of the authorities in con
ri seating the gear and boat of Aune will
probably prevent other fishermen from
going out on the river until the Aune
case is tried out in the Circuit Court,
which will likely be next week.
