against Bud Rowan, asking that the
defendant be cnjoined and re-
strained from interfering with the
plaintiffs in entering and going from
land belonging to the plaintiff, Dun
lap, on which the said Adams is
tenant. They allege in their petit
tion that a public road over defend
ants land has been so used for 80
years, and this is the only road by
which plaintiffs land can be
reached and that the defendant has
forbidden them to pass over his
land, although they have permission
from his tenant to do so. They al
lege that the defendant has caused
the plaintiff Adams to be arrested
for tresspass and that he can have
no relief until the case is tried in
the county court, and that it is nee
essary to go upon the land to cult
vate it.

Noted Writer Denies Report

Loose ends Of yarn. which was CEN

that Mrs. Mary Roberts Rinehart the
noted writer. was about to sail for
France as a Red Cross nurse. despite
the ruling Of the War Department that
nurses with sons in service abroad are
barred from going to the war zone in a
professional capacity.
All Of which Mrs. RInehart denied en-
phatically yesterday at her country home
on Long Island. The yarn spinners. she
said. had gone so far as to publish "in-
terv!ews" which Mrs. Rinehart never
had given. and so had spread the erro-
neous impression that sne had asked for
and had received special privileges
which she at no time had sought. Mrs
Rinehart's son is a soldier in France.
II have made no statement to any one
at any time that l am about to go to
France as a nurse for the Red Cross.
said Mrs Rinehart "1n fact, I have
not authorized any interview on the sub
ject at all, and therefore interviews and
statements Of the kind published during

ranted.
