The prop erty my mother owns was formerly that of Mrs. I. L. Burcher, who was formerly Mrs. Abner Hill. There la an unsettled dispute as to the bound ary line between theso properties which has been handed down for many years, Silas claiming the line ns surveyed encroaches on his prop erty. A. V. Tyler made a survey and staked the line over 10 year3 ago. "This survey of Tyler did not sat isfy Silas. It came within seven feet of my mother's house, which was then owned by Mrs. Hill, now Mrs. Burcher. Lewis Collins, the county surveyor, was then engaged to run the lines, and his survey, it seems, brought the line within llvo feet of my mother's property. This evidently was not satisfactory, for Engineer Sandercock was next era ployed to make a survey, and this confirmed the one made by Mr. Tyler. Later, however, ho found he had made a mistake, so he resur- veyed and In so doing brought the line further over onto mother's property and within three feet of her house On the day of the fight, July 12, Sam Reed and I started to lay tile drain from my mother's house to the highway. We commenced to dig a ditch which, we claim, would come within the three-foot limit, Silas and William had gone to work for Mr. Tyner, but they got a tele phone call that Sam and I were dig ging the ditch. They hurried home and as soon as they came a war of words started "I. was in the ditch, which was about 15 Inches deep. William came up with a hoe that had an un usually thick handle. He hit me and I tried with my arm to ward off the blow. The hoe handle crashed down on my head, cutting my hat. I got a skull wound, too. I was momentarily stunned and at that moment William Jumped down on me and commenced to rain blows on my face. He gave me a black eye, too. "Well, at this point mother heard the fracas and ran out of the house. She tried, of course, to protect me from William's onslaught. Silas came up then and hit her on the back and head. Mother claimed she was on her own property at the time and was simply trying to protect me. "Just then Reed came up with a hoe and began to attack Silas. I wns in the trench, partly, with Wil liam on top of me. I finally suc ceeded in turning William over and getting on top myself, and at that ho agreed to stop. "Mother did not see Reed and Silas lighting, for her time nnd at tention were taken up with my fight with William. She did not strike nnybody, at any time or In any way, but she says that while William and I wore fighting sho picked up a hoe, Intending to hit William, but Reed, after he finished his fight with Silas, came up and took the hoe away from her. It was then that she saw Silas Lord had been struck and hurt, for Menner & Co. will close out all summer goods at low prices. 51el4 AND LAKE ARIEL ROAD TAKES FIRST STEP TO WARD GETTING INTO SCRAN TON TWO ROUTES PROPOSED AND ROTH ARE PRESENTED TO ELECTRIC CITY COUNCIL. A special from Scrnnton says: The Scranton and Lake Ariel Rail road company Thursday night took the first step toward securing a franchise from the city for entrance over the streets of South Scranton ns far as tho Spruce street bridge. An ordinance was introduced by Albert Davis of the Fifth ward at tho request of tho company. The measure provides that tho company shall grade all streets for which it shall obtain a franchise, and that it shall pay for damages caused by the grading. It Is also stipulated that the railway company shall pave between Its tracks and 12 In ches on either side of tho track on any street where the city shall pave hereafter, or where there may be pave at the time the streets aro oc cupied. Upon motion of Mr. Davis, tho ordinance was referred to the committee on railways. Two routes are provided for In the ordinance, either or both of which may be used by tho company in Its plans. One route starts at Front street, along Front to Meadow avenue, along Meadow to Mooslc street, along Moo- slc street to PIttston avenue, along Plttston avenue to the Spruce street bridge, where lt is proposed to gain tho use of the tracks of the Scran ton Railway company. The other route the promoters have In mind begins at the intersec tlon of Moosic street nnd Stone ave nue. after making the trip from Plttston avenue to Mooslc street. From Mooslc street the route runs along Stone avenue to Hemlock street, to South Qulncy avenue, along Willow street to Crown avenue, along Crown avenue to River street to the old road leading to Lake Scranton, along that road to the In tersection of the old abandoned Cobb road, and thence to the Hill prop erty.
