TROUBLE OVER PICKING APPLES IN AN ORCHARD The Losse of the Land Objects to the Owner Carrjing Oil the Apples, and Scatters Pickers With Gun. From Faturtay's Dan v. Yesterday afternoon considerable excitement was occa. ioni north cf the stand pipe on North Eighth street, v. hen W. II. Bunch, who has a lease cn an orchard in that section, object ed to a number cf gentlemen who were picking the apples in the or chard. The affair si-err. s to l.e a mix up between Mr. Bunch an 1 the owner cf the orchard, A. E. Becker, of Omaha, who had told the ro"!i to pick the apples, and they being innocent parties to the affair, w.-nt ahead to gather the apples, with the result that they were subjected to a bombard ment from. Mr. Bunch. He vi.-itt d the orchard last evening and told the men to quit taking the apples, and they told him that they knew nothing of the state of affairs between Mr. Bunch and Mr. Becker and that he had better secure an injunction or legal papers and they would stop, but that they had been ordered by Mr. Becker to go ahead and pick the apples for shipment. The men state that Mr. Bunch promised to see about the legal aspect of the case, but they heard nothing more of the matter until Mr. Bunch appeared on the scene yester day afternoon and ordered them to leave, at the same time filing several shots from his revolver, and two of the men, Mr. Riddle and Percy Mur phy at once retired in regular Rus sian style to safety, but Henry War stave, the third cf the trio, was not so fortunate, as he was up in a tree with a sack of apples fastened on his back, and he states several shots were fired up in the tree before he could get down and explain to the gentleman that he was merely the agent of someone else and innocent of any de sire to start a minature European war here in peaceful Nebraska, and after reaching the ground lost no time in beating a retreat. It would seem from all facts as can be learned that Mr. Bunch has been leasing the land and has never been served with a notice to vacate and consequently had a right to the apples, but was wrong in the shooting.
