Troubles of the Town Councils.

The adoption of the COW ordinance
in Lexington has caused much dis
satisfaction as evidenced by the
petition signed numerously several
weeks ago for the council to repeal
it. In Roanoke they have similar
ordinance, and, as here, it is resisted
by a large number of its citizens.
1t has been agreed to submit the
matter to the will of the people at
the November election. This is
certainly the rational way to settle
disputed questions.
The citizens Of Winchester, the
board of health and the city council
are at odds relating to the hog-pen
problem in that city The board of
health has attempted to shift the
responsibility for cleaning out the
hog opens in the city, as the law re-
quires, from themselves to the
sanitary committee of the council.
I he latter threatened to resign if the
work was placed upon them, and
finally the matter was left to the city
solicitor

Proceedings of the Circuit Court

Circuit Court adjourned Monday
for the term. Judge Letcher is
now in HarrisOnburg holding the

interest were decided.

ministration.
The will of Thomas Gaylor was

A case of much interest was that
of James d. Brown charged with
selling whiskey inLexingion,a local
option district. Some time last
spring the case was tried by Mayor
PiersOn who assessed a fine of
800 and Imprisonment for six
months. From this verdict he
appealed to the County Court,
which modified his sentence some
little by fixing his Imprisonment
at three months and fine of 5000.
The case was again appealed to
the Circuit Court, which confirmed
the judgment of the County Court.
There is now no avenue of escape
from the penalty except an appeal
to the Supreme Court of Appeals
Of Virginia.

A Celebrated Road Case Decided

A case of considerable interest
to persons living in the vicinity of
the litigants was decided in the
Circuit Court last Friday.
Briefly stated it was this: Adam
Bare, Silas II. NuckOls, and others,
presented a petition to the County
Court asking for public road
through the farm of r. E. Will
liams, an adjoining landowner.
These gentlemen live three or four
miles southeast of Lexington and
near the old Ben-Salem church.
The matter was referred to the
Natural Bridge road board, which
reported adversely. Viewers were
appointed by the County Court
which also reported adversely upon
the construction of a road, stating
that in their opinion the proposed
highway was not of such utility
as would justify the expenditure
of public money in building it. The
petitioners asked for other view
ers, which was granted them.
Their reports were not altogether
adverse, and the County Court
granted the petition of Bare, Muck
OILS, etc.
1t was claimed by the energetic
counsel for the petitioners that
back in the years preceding and
succeeding the Revolution the site
of the proposed road was used by |
the public as road, and even up
to this time had been considered |
as public highway. Some testi-
mony was produced proving this
assertion.
The wide awake counsel for Mr..
Williams thought, as the viewers
stated, that if the road had been
used as a public highway, the con-
structiOn Of public road running
parallel with the site in contrOver-
sy, reaching the same objective
points, practically, retired this
questionable road. A strong point
was that this farm road had never
received any attention from the
road authorities. The petitioners
had egress and ingress to their
homes without passing along this
farm road through Mr.. Williams
farm.
Frank T. Glasgow represented
the petitioners, and Hugh A. White
Of Buena Vista, the defendant, h.
+. Williams. Mr.. White appealed
from the decision Of the County
Court and carried the case of his
client to the Circuit Court. On
Friday, Judge Letcher reversed the
County Court by causing the fol-
owing order to be entered:

ADAM BARE.

ADAM DARE.
This cause came on this day to
be further heard upon the papers
formerly read in the cause, and the
dispositions of suadry witnesses
taken on behalf Of both plaintiff
and defendant, and the exceptions
taken to SAID dispositions and doc
umentary evidence by both plaintiff
and defendant, and was argued by
counsel.
Whereupon the Court is Of the
opinion, and doth decree that there
is no public road through the lands
Of the plaintiff, r. +. Williams,
and that the prayer of the plain
tiff in his bill ought to be granted.
1t is therefore adjudged, ordered
and decreed, that the defendant,
Adam Bare, hisIagents and servants
and all other persons, are hereby
restrained and enjoined perpetu-
ally from passing into or through
the lands Of said plaintiff r. f.
Williams, as mentioned in his bill
and exhibits thereto, unless by and
with the consent of RE. Williams,
or his agents and successors in
title.
1t is further adjudged, ordered
and decreed, that the plaintiff re-
cover Of the defendant, Adam Bare,
his costs in this behalf expended,
and execution may issue for the
same from the Clerks office of this
Court.
And there being nothing further
to be done in this cause, it is or
dered that the same be stricken
from the docket.

Football.

The virginia Military Institute
team played st. Adams on the parade
grounds Saturday afternoon and
neither side scored. The game was
played in downpour of rain, but
both sides put up good ball. The
visitors were heavier, but the cadets
were fast and plucky.
The game between Washington and
Lee and Virginia Polytechnic Insti-
tute was scheduled for Lynchburg
Saturday, but on account of the rain
was postponed until Monday. Wash
ington and Lee won by the scora of 6
too.
In the last minute of play, Smith,
for w. & L., made the sensational
play of the game. Running away
out around right end, he carried the
ball sixty yards, and was downed
within two yards of the " p. Is
goal line. At this point V. p. |.
refused to play if the run were allowed
claiming that their players were
blocked by the crowd. The referee
allowed the run and the game closed.
In honor of the event, duties at the
University were suspended Tuesday,
and rousing reception rendered the
team on their return last night, wind
ing up with display of fireworks OH
the campus.

CHIEF RAWLINGS ADDRESS.

He Lectured the New Britain Pclbe-
men for Being Lax in Their Duties
New Britain, Sept 3.There was an
explosion in the police department
here last night when Chief Rawlings
called all the members of the force be-
fore him and lectured them for their
conduct and also ordered them to
strictly enforce the laws. The mem
bers of the force will not discuss the
matter and even deny that there was
any lecture from the chiae, but from
the best OF authority outside OF those
actually present at the gathering the
following facts were gathered: Chief
Rawlings had prepared a carefully
written address to be read to the men.
He then gave orders that every mem
Der Of the regular force assemble at
p. IN. This included men who had al
ready gone OFF duty as well as men
who were not due to report till much
later The address first criticised the
men for being too familiar with people
on the street and talking too much. It
then took up the question of drinking
and stated that members of the force
must not take a drink while on duty
The address went on to say that it
was known that members of the force
were doing this thing and 1t must be
stopped. 1t was not a few members
but a good many who We're taking their
quiet "nips.' The matter OF the men
leaving the city without first asking
permission was dwelt upon at some ex-
tent. The rules of the department
prohibit this and the chief decided
that when a man is off duty he cannot
take a trolley ride outside of the city
limits with his family without first
asking permission of the officer in
charge at headquarters. This prohib-
its the mems going to the city's pleas
ure resort, White Oak park, without
permission.
The matter which will cause the
most comment was the chiefs position
as to the enforcement of the laws.
His address orders the men to make
arrests wherever they Know there is
violation of the law. If these ar
rests are not made the men will get
into trouble. The men on their beats
showed unusual activity during the
evening In, attending TO their duties
and were not at all sociab1e.
