OBJECT To BELLS
ON Mules NECkS
West End Residents Declare
Early Morning Jangling Makes
Sleep Impossible.

Enraged at what they term a mali
cious and persistent interruption Of
their early morning SAUNDERS by the
discordant tin-tin nabufation of bells
hung from the necks OF mules, resi-
dents OF the West End residential
district have finally complained to the
police. and as a result summons has
been Issued for Melvin Eubank, a con-
tractor located at Cary and Strawberry
streets.
The summons charges Mr. Eubank
with driving a mule with bell on
the neck of said animal In reality
there are many mules with bells on
and Mr., Eubank although he owns
some of them does not drive them.
Instead. the driving is done by negro
work iaborers in his employ.
Nevertheless. according to the COM
plainants. the nuisance must be abat-
ed. Whoever is driving the carts, they
say pass UP the street. under their
windows. their progress being mark
ed by brassy clangings that make
sleep out of the question.
The eomplainants might not object
tor small bells. but they are confident
that cowbells are being used. This,
they say. is too much, and so the mat
ter will be aired before Justice John
Crutchfield.

Water Being Directed for
Settling Basin.
PROPERTY Is INJURED

Z, *. Victor. German consul here
and representative of the empire of
Japan. and his wife, Mrs Maria
Louise Victor, have filed bill of
complaint in equity in the United
States circuit court FOR Eastern VIZ
ginta asking that the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railway Company and the city
OF Richmond be enjoined and re-
strained from diverting the waters OF
the James river at Bosher's Dam
where the supply for the setting
basin is obtained.
The complainants are owners OF
about three hundred acres OF land at
the point in question and il Is set
forth in the bill that owing to dams,
dykes and embankments the normal
overflow of the river on the lowiands
is greatly diminished and that valu-
able water power is seriously injured
and impaired.
Riparian rights, which entitle prop
erty owners to one-half OF the river
lying in front OF their holdings. are
claimed. And it is stated that the
fee simple title of the tract is cloud
ed by the constant drainage OF water
above their land. Sale of the prop
erty, it is said. was prevented by the
loss Of natural water power.
The bill was fled early Thursday
morning by Attorney Willis &. Smith,
counsel for the complainants. United
States Deputy Marshal Marchant i'm
mediately served Processes on Mayor
David c. Richardson and Mr.. Decatur
aAxtell, vice-p president of the .Ches-
apeake and Ohio.
Bosher's Dam is about five miles
above the property OF the complain
ants. The water held up her is de-
lfvered back to the river, according
distance below his property ana
thereby. 1t is pointed out. valuable
water power is destroyed
In Mr.. Nietor's name there Is 153
acres. while his wife owns an adtoin-
ing tract of la acres. Each of these
is largely composed or iowiands.
Large sums have been spent by the
owners in drainage, blasting and
other improvements.
The defendants have Jointly erect
ed and are maintaining the settling
basin and on account of the dykes
and embellishments the waters have
been so diverted that they sweep upon
the land Of the complainants and are
alleged to have carried away banks.
The complainants aver that they
have no adequate remedy in law for
their grievances and have therefore
sought relief in equity.
The court is asked to enjotn and
restrain the Chesapeake and Ohio and
the city from disturbing the waters
of the aJmes In violation OF their
legal rights. 1t is also asked In the
bill that the defendants be given ,op-
portunity to acquire by condemnation

erty OF the complainants
