Papers were served Thursday In civil ac-

resident of Bayport, against Thomas Hawkins. a
prosperous farmer residing east Of the village.
Murphy sues to recover for damages to his wheel.
which was wrecked day or ago in conse-
quence of II being caught I'm deep trench which
Hawkins had ploughed the sidewalk in
front OF his place in order TO prevent wheemen
from using the sdepath Mr. Hawkins claims that
the wheelmen have completely moLopolized the
sidewalk this season. and that he was powerless to
stop them unless he took the law into his own
hands; hence he decided to dig the trench. Several
other wheelmen ran into the ditch, and two of
them were badly bruised by the fall. The will
be tried in few days before Justice Stohlworthy,
at Sayve, and the suit is creating great local
interest among the wheelmen.
