          Dan Becker,  Saturday, filed an affidavit against  Everett Higgins, charging the latter with malicious trespass.  Higgins will be given a hearing Wednesday evening at seven o'clock in the court of  Justice Moberly.  It seems that Higgins claims that he had a stall rented in a barn belinging to Mrs. Becker.  Dan locked up the barn so that Higgins could not get in, and Higgins took a hatchet and smashed the lock.
