c. w. SMALL Stenographer.
Augusta, Oct. 90
James E. Libby VS.. Judson l.. Rob-
bins. Williamson & Burleigh for
plaintiff; Baker. Baker & Staples for
defendant. This is an action of tres
pass on real estate in which it is claim
ed that the defendant entered the
plaintiffs wood lot and cut and car
ried away 500 trees of the value of SO
cents each and 25 cords of wood, COW
ering a territory 3 rods wide and about
% rods long.
The premises in dispute are situated
in Augusta, in the vicinity of Bolton
hill and were originally a part of lot
No. 6, range 4, of Kennebec purchase
east of the Kennebec river. In 1878
this lot was divided into two equal
parts. and by succession of deeds the
plaintiff finally came into possession Of
the north half and the defendant the
south half. The question at issue is
the location of the dividing line, ana
the amount of damage, if the line is
found as claimed by plaintiff.
The plaintiff claims that as matter
VI IdCl Tie ultlulIlS llIlc was never run,
and he now claims to locate it half way
between spotted trees which he says
now exist on the north and south lines
of the original lot. He says that the
defendant has cut rods over this line.
The defendant admits that he has cut
over the line as claimed by plaintiff,
but claims that he has gone only to the
true line which he claims is evidenced
by sections of old fence and spotted
trees; that if in fact this is not the
original line, then it has been regarded
as such for so many years that he has
acquired title to the strip Of land by
adverse possession. The plaintiff re-
butts this contention and says that the
spotted trees on the line claimed by
defendant were spotted by surveyor
in 1867 in running a trial line, and that
the survey was never completed.
The case was suspended at noon,
and by direction of the court the jury,
at 2 o'clock, in charge of an officer,
proceeded in teams to the premises in
question and went over the lines as
claimed by each party.
At noon, court adjourned until Mon
day at 2 O'Clock

Saturdays game between Oak Grove
Seminary and Cony High resulted in a
victory for Oak Grove. 1t was a hard
game, Cony being obliged to play every
substitute, and with the exception of a
few fumbles. it was good one. Cony
won the toss. taking the west goal to
defend. COny kicked off, Jones catching
the ball and advancing it a few yards.
In short time Hewey fumbled the ball,
Pratt getting it and downing it for Cony.
Cony was able to advance the ball at any
place she tried but owing to lack of snap
in the backs she was not able to make
many long gains. Once or twice she was
able to make a 10-yards gain. When Cony
had advanced the ball to the 15-yard line,
Barrows was able to break through and
carry the ball across the goal line, secur-
ing touchdown in Az minutes. Barrows
kicked goal.
Oak Grove kicked off. Clark advanced
the ball 10 yards. The ball was soon given
to Oak Grove on downs, and by steady
end plays, SWEET was able to secure a
touchdown in II minutes.
Cony kicked off, Wyman advancing the
ball Is yards. Time was called before
they had made many plays.
In the second half, Cony soon lost the
ball on fumbles. Then Oak Grove got into
the game for all she was worth After
minutes play, Hewey was able to break
through and carry the ball across the goal
line. SWEET kicked goal.
Cony kicked off and in less than min
utes play, Hewey got around Cony's
right end for another touchdown. SWEET
kicked goal
Cony again kicked off. but before Oak
Grove had made many plays, SWEET held
and was caught by the umpire, thus the
ball was given to Cony. Her men were
| able to keep it only few minutes, when
they lost 1t on downs. Time was soon
| called.
During the whole game Oak Grove was
unable to make any gains through Cony's
| line, all gains being made around the end
and between end and tackle. This was
| not due to any weakness of Cony's ends,
but to the hard playing and elegant inter-
| ference of the Oak Grove team Hewey
played a fine game and deserves praise.
For Cony, Besse, Barrows, Pratt and Por-
quette did some elegant tackling. Cony
lacked snap in all her plays, right end
being Cony's weakest point. The lineup:
