CONNERSVILLE, Ind, Feb 27.-Some ex-
element prevails among Fayette county
farmers and citizens of Connersville over
the fight between the Brookvile Turnpike
Company and William Robinson. About
two weeks ago his son. Albert Robinson. re-
fused to pay toll at the gate just inside the
city limits and the pole was lowered be-
fore him. He hitched his team TO the pole
and pulled IL out and away from the spot
Tuesday the pole was replaced and yester-
day William Robinson was barred for the
same reason. The old gentleman pulled a
handsaw from his wagon and proceeded TO
convert the pole into stove wood. The same
day IL was replaced ard to-day the act
was repeated. The trouble grows out of the
belief that the pike is not legally sustained
and that the company mas no right to coll
lect toll. Litigation will probably result
which will be the test OF the legality of the
actions of both factions
