DAN SICKLES' FENCE.
There Is a Big, Big Row About
1t Now.
THE MILKMANs DAUGHTER SUES

II It Is Chopped Down, Has Been
Rebuilt and Go to Law HImseIf-Ths
Scene of the Famous Drain Fight.
NEW YORK, Aug. E&-Several of the
town officials OF New ,ochelle say that de
treasurer will pay a prize OF a gold double
eagle to anybody who will find out exactly
what the dispute was between the agents
of General Daniel E. Sickles' estate and
Miss Carrie Ensinger, who is known as the
milkman's daughter. The dispute is ap
parently over a brand new picket fence
which General Sickles' brother-in-law,
George Sawyer, built last week along
North street at the boundary line of part
of the extensive Sickles property.
A lawsuit, at any rate, has been begun
over the fence and has excited as much il
not more attention than was aroused by
the litigation over Bourke Cockran's fence.
The contention between the milkman's
daughter and Mr. Sawyer includes the
building of drains, the filling in thereof
later on and the alleged infringement upon
the town rights in extending the Sickles
fence out into Clognie avenue, which cuts
east and west across North street.
Miss EnsinRer's Claim.
Miss Carrie Ensinger, who is a strapping
big blond, has instructed her lawyer tc
claim that Congressman Sickles is trying
Ito gobble up half of the roadway oil
Clognie avenue, with a view that when the
town improvements which are being push
/ ed ahead reach Clognie avenue and that
/ thoroughfare is laid out anew the town
i surveyors will have to cut off a slice oil
her property to widen the road and let the
Sickles property alone.
| The row is even funnier than the dis
pute about the drains, which began two
years ago when Liquor Dealer Mohr Of
/ Avenue A and Seventh street bought lot
on the Sickles estate, built a house there
on and secured, as he says, Agent Sawyer,
permission to build a drain leading into
Redmond brook. lnnkeeper Redmond
who is jolly Irishman and proud of tn,
fact that the brook was named after him
| said last night that it would puzzle
| Pennsylvania Dutchman to explain tn,
'snarl" that had arisen over the drain!
and over the fence.
Health Officer Dalrymple said in cheery
tone:
I'm give up the conundrum about tn,
fence right at the start, but l will say tina
l consider that General Sickles and hi,
agent are perfectly right about filling il
the drains. They obeyed the orders OF tn
authorities like good citizens"
The town authorities are now awaiting
with great interest the outcome of the liti
| CATION over the Sickles fence They sale
that they really didn't know who would
win. Miss Ensinger, the milkman's daugh
ter, who owns several houses, says that sh
is going to hire men to chop that part o
the Sickles fence down which she claim
illegally projects into the roadway o
ClOgnie avenue. Ii she carries out thi
threat. there will be lots of fun in New
Rochelle, for it was stated last night tina
Congressman Sickles' agent will REBUILD
the fence as fast as it is destroyed and brinl
counter suits for damages besides.
