PETITION IS OUT
TO
Men Arrested at Talent and Phoenix
for Selling Fish Without License
Petition for Pardon.
W. P. Mason of Talent and John
Basin of Phoenix, who wero arrested
this week charged with selling fish
without first procuring a license, and
who arc serving time in the county
jail rather than pay the $50 fine as
sessed to them have friends who are
circulating a petition to the governor
to relievo them of tho fine.
The men, it is said ,were innocent
of any intent to vlointe tho game and
fish laws, and sold the fish they as
sert merely as nn accommodation.
"It has been the custom of the
'Portland fish men," said one promi
nont Talent citizen, "when tho catch
of smelt was unusually large to send
out boxes of the fish nil along the
line through the express companies
to different small towns, consigned
to some merchant, with instructions
to thongent that if the consignee re
fused to take the shipment to sell
it to someono else. That is about
the way these men iwoto 'oaugh'.V
Thoy do not make it u rule to handle
smelt or other fish and merely took
them out nnd sold them for tho ac
commodation of their customers and
the fish men. They had no intention
of violating the fish laws, in fnct
probnbly didn't know there was such
n law."
