TROUBLE ABOUT COW AND PIG. Each Family Ixist a Favorite Ani mal by Death and Now the Quarrel Is in the Courts. An Interesting domestic drama. Involving two lawsuits, no end of ultercatlon nnd a number of pitched battles between the prin cipals, in which broadsides of tomato cans and oti'.er TnUsHea were exchanged, has been taking plao In tho last jear in Web ster Heights, which Is on tho Houseman division of the Suburban, near RarthoUt's Grove. Lucas Schuank and his wife, ar rayed against George Cr.gel and his wife, are the warrins parties. It Is a case of millionaire versus pauper. Schwank is rich and nsel U a j oor labor ing man. and works In a Cheltenham pipe and tile factory at 51 15 a day. lepite hi poverty he has not spared his hard-earned dollars in carrjlng on a brisk legal Ilsht against his opponent. At the present date Srhwank has a lit tle the advantage of Engel. In a eae brought jesterdav morning b-foro Jut!ee cf the Peace Jacob!, at Kirkwood. S-hnank charged Engel with disturbance of his peace. The decision was against Engel and ho was fined $1 and costi. Zach Michell Im mediately appealed to the Circuit Court, where tho case will corny up at the nest term of court. Schwank and Easel live next to each other in Webster Heights. Schwank is nearlj SO vears old und has a palatial home. Down at the foot of th hill on which Schwar.k's line houe stands, and adjoining the property cf the lich man. is an hum ble cottage, with a little plot of ground around it- This is Engel's mol"t cot. Per a long time the two families lived on good term". Mrs. Schwank took an Inteie-t In th- hird-worklng laborer and his larg family of children Fo even wont farther, anil many an act of kindness, und manv a substantial gift testified her friendliness fechwank odopied the same bearing toward Engel. and each thought a great deal e: tha other. The beginning of the troublo came about a jear no. Schwank had a cow which hs valued greatly. It was a thoroughbre-J Jersey, and Its namo was "jjakev " SJkey one day showed signs of sic less and Schwank went In the evening ta consult Engel about the cow. as he was reputed to know- the bov Ine nature to a degree far be jond tho ordinary man. Engel said he would go up and take a look at the cow as sojn as he finished his chores Pchwank went to a friend's houe for the evening, believing that Sukcy was In good hands. But Engel forgot to go up, and when Schwanck went down the next morning to se how his valued animal was he found her dead Schwank straightway went to Engel and upbraided him for letting the cow die Then Engel confessed that he had not been to see the cow At this chwank's ar.g r brok out In earnest. It lasted more than the day, for Schwank. to siKnfj that all friend! relations had been broken oiT, built a oven-foot bnard fence Iwtwctn his residence and Engel's cottage At this act Engel also became nm;rj-, an! whenever tre men met on the street ir saw ore another In their adjacent yards, they would Indulga in wordy altucntlors The neighbors say that ihest. altercatl ns between the aged man of wealth and the laborer went further than n mere "Mhango of epithets. They saj thit m!s.ics f a most nondescript nature wi rt fiercely-Irirled over tho bonrd fence, and that even Mrs Schwank and Mrs Ercei. each arrajv I in the cause of her husband, took part in the.- tattle" Incidents followed one on the other In this domestic warfare. Kng'l's chiliren played tricks on Schwank and his wire, which tho couple blamed on the parents of tho children. Then Engel's pig died This pig was a very fat rooter, and had won prizes at fairs. Engel thought of it as Schwank CId of his cow, that it was an exceptional animal. When It dlej Engel entertained suspicions that ho had not met a natural death, and this did not tend to Improve conditions Then some of his chick ens died, and Ergel became furious, and when the warring men met serious trouble wms continually threatened Tho culmination was reached on Sundav. April IZ Engel was digging Ms garden and was spading ground close to th tall fence Schwank discovered him and ac cused him of trjlng to undermine the fcn-e Engel denied, und another encounter en sued Schwank alleges that at this time Engel got after him with a shovel and threatened him with serious hurt Schwank then went to court. Ho entered suit before Justice GreenfIder at flat ten for n peace warrant against Engel, who took n change of venue to Kirkwood. Here the case conn up last Saturdav The Ia jers had a warm nrgumrnt and went !nck over the circumstances of the case Mr Schwank related the affecting storv of "Sukcy." and Mrs. Engel told of tho fate of the prize pig and tho chickens Tho decision was in Engel's favor Hut Schwank was not to be nb.shd by one defeat Ho brought nnoihcr rult in Justice Jacobl's court at Kirkwood analnst Engel for disturbance of the peace, with the outcome as stated.
