The family troubles Of the Vernons,
founders Of the Daily Republican, came
to head this morning, and resulted
in the arrest of two OF the brothers
upon a charge OF trespassing on them
uwn property, together with Detectives
John f. Dolan and William e. Wood
ward. The tragic move on the part of
the side which is at present out in the
cold in regard to the management OF
the newspaper, was made this morning
at o'clock. AT that time Henry w.
and Albert b. Vernon, representing the
older faction, accompanied by Detec-
tiyes Dolan and Woodward. marched
TO the Republican office and, taking
possession, awaited developments.
AT z O'Clock, or shortly after, when
the younger Vernons arrived to perform
their duty of getting out the edition,
they we're surprised at the stand taken
by their older brothers. Matters took
on a serious turn, and for a short time
things looked as if there would be
something doing Coats came on and
loud talk was indulged in by the angry
contestants for supremacy. The troll
BILE was averted. however. by the ar
rival Of Chief Black, who had been no
titled of the disturbance.
In the meantime Howard E. Vernon,
president of the company composed OF
the younger Vernons, had warrants
SWORN out before Magistrate George IL.
Hollis for the arrest Of Henry w. and
A. b. Vernon and Detectives Dolan and
woodward, charging them with tres
pass. Constable Lucius C. Jones served
the warrants, and walked his prisoners
to the magistrates office. Henry W.
and A. b. Vernon claim that Howard
F. Vernon. the president of the oppos-
ing faction, does not own any stock IN
the company, and is more liable TO ar
rest for trespass than they.
On Friday last Howard e. Vernon
sold to A. b. Vernon seven and halr
shares Of stock, and on the following
day George F. Vernon sold to the same
Durchaser seven and half more shares,
making the total holdings OF Al B. Yer
non twenty-five and half shares. The
balance of the stock is held as follows
7 wesley Vernon, shares; Henry
w. z; Clarence, z; Frank, z; Mary, 2;
w Scott. -, leaving shares belong
iul0 To the latter in dispute In the Court
of Chancery. The shares are valued
at $780,
BENJAMIN Nields appeared for the de-
PENDANTS. and H. H. Ward represented
tbe comnlainants. The latter contend
oil that Magistrate Hollis had no 1ulls-
diction. over the matter other than
binding the prisoners over for hear
inc I'm Municipal Court, as the trespass
had n,een committed within the city
limits and following this advice Mag
sstrate Hollis held the defendants un-
dsr s1OO hail in each case for a hear
