Items from the Lancaster Intelligencer, Thursday, May 13, 1897


Charged With Malicious Trespas.[sic]

Mrs. William Hecker, who lives at the extreme end of Rockland street, has 
entered suits against Grant and H. Shay, Abram Ditzler and Wm. Bruder for 
malicious trespass before Alderman Cummings.  These are the young men who went 
on the premises of the presecutrix on Wednesday afternoon and tore onions from 
the bed and destroyed growing vegetables.  All of the young men were taken to 
the station house in the patrol.  There Bender gave the officers the slip and 
was caught by Officer Gill after a chase of ten squares.


Returned to Court.

Harvey Fisher was heard by Alderman Rife on Wednesday evening on a charge of 
stealing brass out of the yard of J. W. Miller's silver plating works.  He was 
committed for trial.  Fisher served a term of eighteen months for a similar 
offense and was released only a short time ago.
