JUMPING. is usually the case in
new towns and townsites surveyed and
recorded, there are some who hang back
afraid to venture anything until they
see town or place success, then they
want to come in, and by foul means,
dispossess owners Of portion of their
venture, or make it cost them so much
that the property is generally not worth
the payment OF large expenses for law
suit, and owners generally give way to
such characters wishing to AVOID trouble
and bloodshed. Royal City, as matter
OF course, has not been exempt from a
series of these kind of attempts, and We
are sorry to learn that citizens, who are,
or ought to be, law abiding men, have
been parties to such arrangements. But
we think, from what we hear. that all
such attempts will be stopped for the
future, and those who have located and
recorded Royal City will 60 on and sell
their lots and give possession without
any more trouble. Those who have lots
in that town are resolved that no Jump
ing shall bs countenanced by them and
that parties attempting any such thing
shall not enjoy possession of the same,
and we are glad to hear that such is the
sentiment of that community.
