Howick man gets probation for feud
Top citizen
Sharon Kelly was winner of the Murray Cardiff Award for
citizenship at the 4-H Awards Night in Clinton Friday. As
well as 4-H work, she is involved in school, church and
community activities.
A Howick township Tuan who
has been feuding with neighbours
since 1936 was given a suspended
sentence and ordered not to possess
firearms, ammunition or explosives
for a year after pleading guilty in
Ontario Court, provincial division
in Wingham Wednesday, to
breaching a peace bond.
Judge Eleanor Schnall was told
that Elwood H. Franklin, R.R.2,
Clifford, has been fighting with two
generations of a family on a neigh
bouring farm since 1936 about cat
tle getting out. On Friday, July 12
the neighbour looked out in the
yard about 6:30 p.m. and saw Mr.
Franklin, 75, with a rifle in his
hands. When he questioned Mr.
Franklin he was accused of having
poisoned fish ponds on the Franklin
farm. Mr. Franklin also demanded
to know what had happened to his
Jersey cattle which the neighbour
said he had not seen. Mr. Franklin
later went away. He never pointed
the weapon at anyone but had been
bound by a peace bond issued by
Judge R.G.E. Hunter on Dec. 12,
1990, to stay away from the neigh
bour's property.
Defence Attorney Alan Mill
said there was a long history of cat
tle getting out back and forth
between the two farms. On the day
in question Mr. Franklin's cattle
had got out, he said. The gun was
not used in a threatening manner,
he said and suggested a period of
probation be set.
Crown Attorney Donald Vale
agreed to a suspended sentence and
probation but that a condition of the
probation be that Mr. Franklin see
his family doctor to provide a
report on his physical condition to
see if he needed treatment for senil
ity.
Judge Schnall agreed ordering
the medical counselling as part of
the probation, ordering Mr.
Franklin to give up all his firearms
V ['XI
to a relative and forbidding him to
go on the neighbour's property to
communicate with the neighbour.
