AN INTERESTING CASE.
An interesting case will be heard in court
next week. Messrs. Robert Biggs, of Balti-
more, and Clabaugh and McKellip, of this
city, have brought an action of ejectment for
Sarah r. Sublette, George N. Warfeld and
others, of the State of Missouri, against Rein
F. Cook, of Warfeldsburg, to recover %
acres of land, part of a tract of $50 acres.
The $50 acres were conveyed by deed to the
mother of the plaintiffs, by George Warfeld,
their father, in 1885. Two years later the
interest of the father was sold at sheriff S
SAFE 10 UOHH rlSueTs / :
Washington Van Bibber and Lemuel W..
Gosnell They sold to Burgess Nelson, Jr.,
in l841. Since then the estate has been di-
vided and sold, and is now in several hands,
and part of the village of Warieldsburg is
built on it. The plaintiffs claim that their
mother never parted with her interest in the
property, and they claim it as her heirs at
law and contend that twenty years adverse
possession is no bar to their recovery, be
cause they are residents of the state of
Maryland. The defendant contends that
George Warfeld was in failing financial cir
cumstances and insolvent when the property
was decided to his wife, Sarah Warfeld, and
that it was purchased with his money.
Upon the determination of the suit de-
ponds others. If the plaintiffs are successful,
thee will bring similar suits to obtain posses
sion of the balance of the $50 acres, now in
the occupancy of several persons. If they
fall no more suits will be brought. Charles
+. Fink, Esq, is counsel for Mr.. Cook.
