The attention of the people of Bethel and
surrounding towns has been held for four
days the past week by an important referee
case involving the title to a large amount of
land 10 this country. The case in question
is one now pending before the Supreme Judi
clal Court, and was referred to Hon. Waldo
fettengill, OF Rumford, Hon. Frank Y.
Bradley, of Fryeburg, and Judge George A.
Wilson, of South Paris. 1t is the case of
Ebenezer T. Nutter and others, VS.. Stephen
Taylor and Lewiston Steam Mill Company.
The plaintiffs are the owners of fifteen hun.
dred acres of wild land in the town of Byron
and the defendant, TAYLOR, owns a farm ad-
joining the land of the plaintiffs. This is an
action of trover brought by the plaintiffs to
recover for the value of certain timber which
the plaintiffs claim was cut on Lot of Range
10. which they own; and the defence claims
that it was cut on Lo, I of Range Is, which
the defendant, Taylor, owns. The Lewiston
Steam Mill Company were made parties to
this action for the reason that they purchased
the timber cut by Taylor from the lot in
question. The real question to be determined
was as to where the original Range line be-
tween Ranges Is and 10 was located on the
face of the earth by Sias 'Thorla who sur
veyed the township of Byron in 1907 1t is
expected that the report of the referees will
be made to the May term of the Supreme
Judicial Court in this county Democrat.
The Oxford Democrat says the three orders
of Knights of Labor. Golden Cross and Good
Templars of South Paris, are considering
the feasibility of building union hall TO be
used by the three societies.
