Because a small step had been placed in the four-foot alley in the rear of the properties at 215 and 217 Pine street Joseph Ball appeared in court today against George Boyer in an effort to have the step removed, claiming it is an obstruction to the alley.

Suits over this alley have been in court for the past year and a half and only last week an opinion was written by Judge McCarrell on the subject. For some time Ball has been trying to have the alley closed on the western side of the property owned by his father, extending his yard four feet across where the alley now extends. Workmen at one time started to close the alley, when a temporary injunction was granted by the court stopping all work. After the hearing an opinion was handed down making the injunction perpetual. On May 29, according to Ball in court this mornin, Boyer had bricklayers at work changing the grade of the alley and placing a step along his property.

Then Ball had Boyer brought into court to have the step removed and considerable testimony was taken this morning and an opinion will be handed down in the near future by the court. The present issue was brought for a rule to show cause why Boyer should not be committed for contempt of court. A WESTERN TRIP Otterbein's Pastor A Delegate to Two Conventions Rev. Edward S.
