The Kingman Leader Courier tells of
an early day county surveyor in King
man county, Kan. who neither pos
sessed any instruments nor could have
used them If he had. His method of
measuring land was to tie his ankles
together with cord that was Just
long enough to allow him to step one
fifth of a rod each time. and thus hob
bled he would strike out, counting his
steps until he had made a sufficient
number to cover the desired distance.
The cord or string used by him in
fastening mis- legs together. says the
Leader-Courier. was made of raw
hide, so that when he was travelling
through the grass of morning when
the dew was on II would become wet
and stretch nearly a foot, and so his
steps were much longer of a morning
than they were of an evening after the
sun had dried the whang leather and
shortened it. Consequently the man
having his land surveyed in the morn.
ing would have much more in his
quarter section than his neighbor who
had his work done in the afternoon.
These old surveys and corners then es-
tablished cause annoyance even to this
day.
