The action, a County Court replevin suit, was brought by the phone company through the law firm of Nixon, ilargrave, Middleton Devans against Fred Beehlcr of the Sweden-Walker Road, town of Clarkson.

Substance of Complaint The complaint alleged that Beehler, a farmer, had refused to permit the company to remove its chattels, a hand-type telephone set and a bell box, valued at a total of $20.36, from his home after service had been disconnected upon failure to pay a telephone bill. Company officials said the customer balked nearly 2 years aro and that since numerous futile attempts had been made, without recourse to the law, to persuade him to allow the company to take out the equipment. Finally, with some 8,000 applications on file for telephones that can't be filled because of scarcity of equipment, the company decided to go to court. Deputy Sheriffs Charles C. Schey; and Julius A.

Rurkhardt last Fri. Ire-went to the Beehler home to serve him with the summons and complaint, the company having filed a requisition for the property along with a $50 bond. Beehler was not at home and the deputies left a copy of the legal papers with his wife, with the advice that th telephone had to be returned to the company within 24 hours. Later that day, the deputies learned, Beehler delivered the equipment to the company's Brock-port office, and yesterdav, when SchPy and DoDutv John Miller went to Clarkson to serve the summons and complaint on Beehler, the latter exhibited a receipt for the telephone signed by the Brock port wire chief. That, apparently, wrote finis to the case.

Rig IVtcklog Cited A telephone company spokesman said that in a few cases the com-; pany had had to wait as long as a year to get back its equipment after termination of service but never before did it have to start suit. "With the situation as it is where we have a big backlog of patiently waiting persons who can't get telephones, especially the rural type sets, despite the fact that we're putting in more telephones than ever before, we saw no reason to allow one to go to waste," remarked the official. He said he did not know whv Beehler had refused to give up the equipment. It was Impossible to reach Beehler by telephone last night.
