Controversy over a Stonelick right of-way has reached the Court of Common Pleas, where it has been settled for the time being by a tem porary writ of injunction. The contending parties are Mrs. Faye Wulfeck of Madisonville and Allen and Emma Rapp of Owensville, and the dispute involves a private road running across Mrs. Wulfeck’s land. The Rapps ‘have been using this roadway at will, but under the injunctive writ granted Saturday by Judge Harry Britton they will have to discontinue this practice until the rights of all parties are fully estab lished in court. The litigation began about ten days ago before Justice J. M. Wiseman, on a charge made by Rapp that Mrs. Wulfeck and her son had pointed a gun at him as he was attempting to use the roadway. At that time there was more argument about easement than gun-pointing, and Justice Wise man dismissed the charge against Mrs. Wulfeck for lack of evidence. Her 17-year-old son, however, was held to the Juvenile Court, where his case is still pending. In her petition for an injunction Mrs. Wulfeck says she bought her place from Cecelia M.Gerard and John F. Rapp in October, 1941. She describes the property as being in two tracts, one containing about 70 acres, and the other, one-half acre. It is on this second tract where the disputed right-of-way lies, and she says it was purchased subject to a re striction contained in the deed from Martin Rapp to Cecelia Gerard and John F. Rapp, on file in the recorder’s office. The deed provides that the road way shall be 20 feet wide and used only for the purpose of a closed pri vate road, with gates at each end. It begins at a point in Owensville near the Williams Corners Pike and con nects with a private lane leading to SR-182, Mrs. Wulfeck declares she has erected signs and personally notified the defendants to keep off prop erty. She charges them with having “maliciously, forcibly and without lawful right” out the fences and trespassed upon the property, and as serting their intention to continue us ing the roadway whenever it was con venient for them to do so. In justice court Frank Roberts of Milford represented Mrs. Wulfeck, and Russell F. Speidel appeared for the Rapps. Gatch, Geisler and Klein mann of Cincinnati are also repre senting Mrs. Wulfeck in the Common
