legal Tangle Results in an
Obstruction Charge by City

mated that there was a tacit under
standing between the owner and the
city at the time the present walk was
constructed.
The law upon which the city's claim
to the disputed area is based says that
it may acquire the same by con
slant, exclusive and notorious use.
The defendant claims that the shelves
have been UP MANY years and have
been used daily except on Sundays,
holidays and rainy days and that the
travelling public has had neither con-
slant, exclusive or notorious use.
After a private consultation between
Mr.. Wakefield and his attorneys, init
nation was given that Mr.. Wakefield
would probably extend the front Of
his store to the street line. Upon such
an intimation being made Solicitor At
kins stated that, while he had not con
suited the city authorities, it was
probable that an injunction would be
asked for, restraining Mr.. Wakefield
from so doing. Thereupon Judge Ma
her pointed out that if such step
were taken the city would have to re-
strain the United States government
acquired as a post office site. He sug-
gested that this might prove some
| thing of an undertaking.
After the hearing Mr.. Wakefield
stated that he intended to build an
obstruction and let the city request
its injunction. This will bring the mat
ter before the supreme court for a de-
cision as to whether or not the city
has acquired the right to the disputed
strip.
The case is the result of the en-
forcement of the city ordinance, Chap
ter %, Section q, regarding the dis
play of goods upon the sidewalk, and
has aroused much interest in the city,
as it is stated that there is at least
one other similar situation in the
city

A young lad had narrow escape
from injury Monday noon, when he
collided with a horse at the corner
of Church and Water street The boy
was riding a bicycle down Church hill
and coming at a rapid pace, much
faster than he should have done. He
ran into the horse driven by Horace
Peacock, and was thrown to the
ground. The horse was also thrown
and it is rather remarkable that no
more serious injury than a splintered
shaft resulted.
