contempt of court at hearing be-
fore Associate Judge Neil c. Fra
ley on Saturday, March /, and was
fined $3.50 and costs.

rating the properties of the parties;
that the said gate at the county
road should be kept closed April
l to November ! of each year and
that said gate separating the prop

times.
Bittinger contendcd that a gate
had been removed in November

that since December 2, 1857, the
gate separating the two properties
had been left open continuously by
the defendants. They asked for
contempt decree.
In answer to the petition the dc
PENDANTS denied that removing the
gate was any violation, and said

be placed brush in the road which
made the road impossible. They
further contendCd that the Bit
myers sailed their cattle near the
road and that large amounts of
manure were all over the road.
