H as a man a right to pick apples
on Sunday on his own farm ? That
is the question which will engage
the attention of the W estchester
county g rand ju ry .next M onday.
Mrs. W inifred H orton, an aged
and pious resident of Sing Sing,
says th a t such conduct is unlaw ful,
and m akes a specific accusation
against her former neighbor, A n­
drew Eek. She charges th a t on
S unday, Septem ber 18, she was
w alking in her garden when she
saw farm er Eck come out of his
house, go to his orchard and then
and there pick several ripe apples
from an overhanging limb.
Mrs. H orton knew th a t farm er
Eck was doing wrong, so she went
to the office of Justice S tu art Ba­
ker iii Sing Sing and inform ed him
of the culpable act. Justice Baker,
also esteemed for his piety, care­
fully considered the m erits of the
case and concluded to sustain the
charge.
He issued a w arran t for the a r ­
rest of farm er Eck, and when i.w a s C oolidge’s B rick, O pposite B an k ,
served the old gentlem an nearly
collapsed. He appeared with the
S IL V E R T O N , O R E G O Y
constable before the justice, who,
puzzled as to w hat sentence to im ­
pose, released the prisoner on $20
bail.
County .Judge Sm ith L ent of
W estchester county, a resident of
M PS. D. L. F IE S T E R . PROP.
Sing Sing, finally heard of the case
and ordered th at the grand jury in ­
vestigate it.
The action of Judge L ent was m FASHIONABLE
M ILLIN E R Y ,,
highly pleasing to farm er Eck, who
did not w ant the charge hanging
over him , and who isconfident th a t
he will not he indicted for taking
LA TEST STYLES
his own fruit from his own tree,
L A R G E S T STO C K
even on a S unday, in the presence
P R IC E S R IG H T
of a pious woman.
Mrs. H orton will go to W hite
Plaine to tell her side and sustain SEE THE LOVELY PRODUCTIONS
the charge. Since it was m ade
..... BY OUR......
there has not been the best of
neighborly feeling between the
farm er and Mrs. Horton; «in fact,
they have ceased to speak a» they
pass bv.—[N. Y. Jo u rn a l.
