BITTER FEUD RAGES INCOUNTY ANDCITY % Dispute Over Cheapside in Lexington, Ky., Awaits Judicial Decision. mountains and its duels in the Blue- grass and the “Purchase,” but not for a century has a more bitter bloodless feud been fought than that now be- ing staged in the courts here between the farmers of Fayette county and the city dwellers of Lexington. For the city dwellers have decreed that “court day” on Cheapside, a block in the center of the city, an institu- tion of a century’s duration, must go. And the farmers say that “court day” must stay. The courts have decided in favor of the city dwellers once, but a mistake was made in not including the county in the suit to abolish the custom of farmers bringing their horses and mules and live stock of all kinds to Cheapside for sale and of the people of the countryside gathering in the shadow of the. statue of John Cabell Breckinridge, former Vice President of the United States, to discuss the political issues of the day. For, it develops, Cheapside has for a hundred and sixteen years been the property of the county. An Ancient Institution. Back in 1790 Cheapside was the cen- ter of the city of Lexington, then the metropolis of the west. At that time the city trustees ordered the first market house erected on the square. The pillory and the stocks, the public well and the courthouse (as at pres- ent) stood on Cheapside. There on | Wednesdays and Saturdays the coun- try people brought in their produce and the city dweller and the country dweller met and traded and swapped tales and talked politics. In later years James Lune Allen, a Kentucky writer, made Cheapside famous with scription of the monthly “court " the last of the ancient institu- tions of central Kentucky. In 1805, it develops, the city of Lexington deeded Cheapside to the county of Fayette. Sinde that time the county has been responsible for it Deem~d a Nuisance. In late years the brick pavement of Cheapside has become pitted and. rough. On court days it is crowded with farmers, live stock and \lnzona| loaded with produce—this once af month. On other days automobiles ! filled the places, parked at all angles. For many months there have been complaints of the unsightliness of Cheapside and the apparent lack of authority by the city police. So action ‘was started in circuit court to force the city tc “abate the nuisance.” The circuit court ordered the “nuisances” abated. But the court did not count on the county. Now the action has been revived through filing of a peti- tion by the county declaring it alone has jurisdictlon over this plot of ground, containing perhaps a quarter of an acre, in the heart of the city. Awaiting Court Action. What the result will be cannot be told until the circuit court again acts and the court of appeals has its final say. But one thing is certain. the country folk are going to fight to the last ditch to retain their plot of ground in the city where they can gather and sell their stock and talk politics. One custom of Cheapside that has long passed but of which James Lane Allen tells in his story was the set- tling of physical encounters and drinking. Of the latter Mr. Allen says: “Another notable recreation of the day was the drinking. Indeed the two pleasures went marvelously well together © ¢ o The merchants kept barrels of whisky in their cel- lars for their customers. Bottles of it sat openly on the counter.” STORM LOSS, $1,500,000. | 100,000,000 Feet of Wires Laid Low in New England.
