12 FENCE FIVHT UP 1N COURT Ritters Face & Chargs of Contempt Befors Judge Dickinson, CATHERS BEATS OUT THE CITY AT LAST H Drawn-Out strip Land Favor of the « Clatmant, Over in Leng Dispute Enda tizen 1 ot A concluding chapter to the story of a five-year fight over fence marking the boundary between two farm in Douglus county is written Ly the stenograph- ers in Dickinson's cour John N Ritter and nis sons, Charles, John and Frank, before his honor for contempt | in baving violated a restraining order is sued January, 1900, preventing them | fro troying or removing a certain | fence constructed by Frederick A. H rs | along a boundary marking delineated )\ the court. The Ritters are charged with have ing r sved the fence on the night of Jan- uary 11 A good many years ago the Ritters and Boyers, who own adjoining farms, had a misunderstanding over the boundary line. | There was a spring pretty near the line and | both wanted it. The men quarreled firat over the the spring. Then each claimed it, contending that it was on his property The Ritters built 3 s from the spring and the | it down. Beyers brought suit In the district court and se- cured a favorable decision and an injunc- tion restraining the Ritters from meddling with the fence The matter stood for a month with no de- velopments, but on the night mentioned the fence wus taken away and the complainant in the present proceedings has filed afMda- vits to the effect that the Ritter boys have made that they destroyed the fence at their fat « bidding. Half a hundred neightors of the contestants were in the court room during the hearing, many of them being there testify At the outset witnesses declared that they had seen a on and team belonging to the Ritters ving the locality of the fence on the bt in question. No additional details were brought out at yesterday's session of court Re use of a fence, shut- tore hoast to Cathers' Fence Wil Stay. old controversy between the city and T. Cathers over the famous Cathers fence on prop nd Locust &troets has been settled by a decree of the | district court confirming s in the ownership of the property, For a good y_years the city has contended that ers property there is a strip which fs not included with the rest, but is for the of the city as a street. On a number of occasions Cathers has bullt a fence barring the rond along the strip in controversy and employes of the city, act- tng under the advice and instruction of the eity legal advisers, have torn it down eral personal encounters resulted from the quarrel and the courts have been called upon on more than one occasion to deter- mine which set of disputants were in the right. The decree by Judge Fawcett puts an end to the quarrel, as it specifies that the city has been in the wrong in interfer- ng with the fence. A perpetual restrain- ing order forbids the fence being meddled with in the future, Th John Sev- case of the State againat d with having assaulted n, returned a verdict in o defendant day’in the p whorest time which he was Indic Claus Munster has brought suft in the against John McArdle to re- alleged to be due on an agree- which he drilled a_ well on the Gofondant’s farm.
