Lawyers In the Woods.

The work of the lawyers Is not always
in the comfort of luxuriously furnished
Offices and court rooms. as is shown by
the experience of three Maine attorneys
Il few DAYS ago. There are in the courts
Il somewhat notable series of cas-, relat-
ing TO a certain township of wild land in
Franklin county. Woodruff ct al of
New \ ork, vs.. !. 4 \. W. Chase, of
Lexington, Woodruff ct al u. 5. A. Nye
of Fairfield, and !. & \. ". Chase vs..
;. a. Nye, are the titles of these suits.
The land in question is kibbe township
No !, Range ), in Franklin county.
The state gave this land to kibbie in
$50, and ii was surveyed at that time.
This was siXty-five years ago. There is
now existing a dispute regarding these
boundaries. and a resuryey has been
made within a few days. Il was thought
desirable that the attorneys representing
the litigants should be present during
this survey, Judge Boswell, of Skowhc-
gan. was surveyor and referee. The
party was made up Of Frank l.. Staples
of Baker Il Staples of Augusta. repre-
hogan. representing ). \. Nyc, and G.
\. Nllher of Madison, representing the
Glasses.
Eustice IS the jumping of place for
one travelling to kibhie township. It is
wilderness from En-tis; and along this
trail started the party on foot.
Having arrived on the ground the
H., - -,
the southwest corner October 18th. and
ran north on the east lire four miles
Then they crossed 10 the west line seven
miles miles then south on the west line
four miles, aud finally seven miles on
the south line They spent eleven days
in this examination OF the lines and the
timber. During this time they lived in a
cotton ten, except on such nights as
they would find Themselves in the yicini-
y of logging camp. Their fare was
salt pork and baked beans. 1t showed
frequently, aud often the snow storms
would come on in the evening, as tobacco
and pipes were produced around the
camp fire.
When Mr.. Walton left the party he
took the route through Somerset town
ship, rs it would bring him out nearer
home. His route lay by King, Bartlett
and Spencer ponds. and forced him to
walk thirty miles through the Gods.
The party found during the trip some
interesting examples Of the preservation
of the surveyors spottings. When the
lines of kibbe township we're run in
ls30 they were marked by "spotted"
trees, V. e. surveyors cut off chip of
bark. Although made sixty-tive years
ago these marks We're remarkably fresh.
one old spruce was found marking a
corner. IL had rotted down, but on it
were a compass mark, the letters II. X.
initials of Hiram Rockwell, the survey
or and the date s.Drc. 30 The pitch
had oozed over these marks, preserving
rhem although the tree had rotted and
fallen.

The Bath Iron works will not only get
two Of the new gunboats, but the Gov
eminent has just awarded them IA still
later contract. At the Atlantic Works
there is being constructed a revenue
cutter, and on account of its superior
durability and strength the stem, stern
post, rudder, propeller, etc, are to be
made of manganese. There are only two
concerns in the country capable of cast
ing the stem and stern posts of this
vessel on account of their immense size,
and the difficulty attending such big
work. These two are the Cramps of
Philadelphia and the Bath Iron Works.
These two foundries were to furnish
specimens of their work, and whichever
stood the higher test would win the
contract for the works from which it
came. 1t is said that the Bath work
was far superior, and hence the stem
and stern-post have been awarded to
Bath. The largest. casting of this job
will weigh about II, 900 pounds, and
will take about three weeks work
