UNIVERSITY NOTES
A Neighborhood Row-Ethical Club
Meets

A lack of neighborly kindness, coupled
with a lovd of litigation, has stirred up a
small tempest in this quiet neighborhood
and given the local Dogberry an eagerly
coveted opportunity to acquire fee. Some
time ago William Wilson and Lloyd Har
low started small dairy on McClintock av
enue near Fortieth street, several blocks
outside of the city limits. They have three
| business. Two Of these lots belong to the
university and face on Forteth street, and
| they have caused the trouble. The dairy
men intended to plant grain on them and
covered them with manure. David Fislle,
who lives on Fortieth street opposite the
lots, complained of this action as creating
a nuisance that disturbed him in the enjoy
ment of his property. Wilson brought
Health Officer L. r. Holland down to in
spect the place and he pronounced it all
right.
Finally Fiske had Wilson and Harlow ar
rested for maintaining a nuisance and they
were taken before Justice Bryant of Bal
Iona township for trial. Thinking discre-
ton the better part of valor, they pleaded
guilty. The learned justice does not have
chances like this very often and proceeded
to administer a lecture to the culprits and
then fined Wilson S2Q and Harlow $l5,
though Wilson had purchased the latters
share in the business and Harlow was not
a party to the maintenance of the nuisance.
The victims paid the fine and said nothing
more about the matter
Then Fiske proceeded to the agent of the
university and leased the lots with the in
tention to oust Wilson, but the latter had
leased them some two months previous
from another agent, and this plan failed.
Now Fiske is threatening to sue both Will
son and the university, and also to have
Wilson arrested for not having removed
the cows. Wilson says he is ready for him
and will not prove so easy next time.
