The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1913-04-02
NEWTOWN

y difference of opinion has arisen
~Atween Miss Elizabeth Blake, the
owner of Castle Ronald and the peo-
pie who have leased it for the pur-
pose of a sanitarium. 1t appears the
latter supposed the use of the Castle
horses was 4 part of the conditions
and privileges of their contract, but
Miss Blake, evidently thinks other
wise. as she brought the horses to the
sta bles attached to the local hoStelry
last week SO Nondav the sheriff act
ing under Instructions of the 1essees
of the sanitarium took the horses
back to the CASTLE despite the protests
of Miss Blake who was staying with
her maid at the hotel. 1t is expected
she will replevin the horses today, as
she went yesterday to see her coun-
sci. The affair seems tangled up, and
the chances for peaceful settlement
at this time seem very remote. The
public look with sorrow as great
good was expected in town from the
presence of this much advertised
health and rest cure station on our
highest hill.
