Farmer in Town OF Port Hope
Thinks He Owns Road And
Trouble Ensues.
PLANTED CLOVER ON HIS HALF
OF THE ROAD.
And When Neighbor Tried To
Travel on Highway He
Drives Him Away.

The town of Port Hope, which
has been replete with stories of
trouble of road building, has just
had another experience in the
same line and as a result one of
the citizens Of the town was
brought to Bemidji this morning
and appeared before Judge Pen
dergast on a charge of assault
with a dangerous weapon. He
was dismissed, however, upon
promising that his actions in the
future should be that of a peace
loving citizen, and those who
swore out the warrant agains t
him helped to pay the costs.
The trouble arose over a road
which runs between the lands of
the two farmers who live near
Buena Vista. Each of the neigh
bors contributed one half of the
road from the land which they
owned and everything went along
smoothly until this spring, when
one sOWed clover on the half
which he had contributed, think
ing that this half of the road be-
longed to him because the land
had formerly been his.
He warned all those who at.
tempted to travel upon the road
that the land belonged to him
and thai all transgressors would
be punished to the full extent of
the law. Yesterday afternoon
his neighbor attempted to drive
along the road when he was
stopped and requested to turn
back, as he was transgressing
upon the land of another. He re.
piled that he did not see wherein
this was true and continued on
his journey. His neighbor did
not give up. however, and went
to his cabin, secured a revolver
and came out near the road and
, fired npon the other man. who
speedily made himself scarce in
that vicinity.
A warrant was sworn out yes
terday for the arrest of the man
who had done the shooting and
he was brought to the city this
"a morning by Constable Cyr OF
Port Hope township. He plead
not guilty to the charge Of as
sault with a dangerous weapon,
and his neighbor afterwards be-
came lenient and withdrew the
charge and helped to pay the
costs.

of young clergyman who launched out
en- strong temperance sermon. When
he had finished deacon said to him:
Il am afraid you have made a mis-
take. Mr.. Jones, who pays the highest
Jew rent, who practically supports the
Sunday school and who is ever ready
with a contribution when asked, is II
d'stlller. He is bound to be angry"
am sorry" said the minister. I
lll so and explain it to Mr.. Jones and
remove any unfayorable impression, and
tell him | did not mean him.
Accordingly he waited upon Mr.. Jones,
who. in addition to the profession of dis
tilling, also carried a good many other
branches of trade and INDUCED in Il good
many amusements of various kinds.
The pastor expressed his deep regret
to Mr.. Jones for anything he might have
said IN the sermon which could hurt his
feelings. He was extremely sorry, in
deed; he did not mean anything by it..
and hoped Mr.. Jones would not feel
hurt
He was somewhat relieved when, with
a iovial air. the other said
''Oh, bless you, don't mind that ut all.
