ENDING THE
CONTROVERSY
BY John Barton
Copyright, 1902, by the
s. 8. Mcclure Company


When Jacob Stansell became a wild
bwer there were those who predicted
that he would ask for the hand of the
Widow Tracy. Not only did their farms
join, but they had known each other
from childhood, and even after both
had married they had always spoken
Of each other as Jake and Mary. No
one was surprised when, after a year
or so, it was announced that the line
fences between the farms would soon
be thrown down and all the land be-
come Stansell property, Then incidents
began to happen. Jacobs sister came
on from Illinois to pay him visit, and
n lawyer in the village cast cOvetOus
eyes on the widow and her lands.
1t was inevitable that with an old
maid on one side and lawyer on the
other trouble should come. The sister
didn't want the brother to marry again,
and the lawyer didn't want the widow
to wreck her happiness, and so it came
about that within four weeks the mar
riage was off. They couldn't even be
neighbors after the lawyer and the sis
ter got fairly to work
The lawyer stood on what he called
the legal aspects of the case-that is,
he called Jacob Stansell a designing
scOundrel who had no other end in view
than securing the widows property.
The old maid sister didn't care for
legal aspects, but she wasn't going to
see Jake harnessed to q woman whose
extravaganza would land him in the
poorhOuse.
There had always been question as
to the location of one of the line
fences. In a good natured way the
Stansells nad cOntended that the fence
was over on their land by three inches.
The matter had rested there for fifteen
years, but the lawyer and the sister
dug it up. Surveyors were engaged,
lines run and the difference of an inch
was disputed over until it ended in a
lawsuit.
1t was while the last survey was be-
ing made that Stansell met with a
great loss. He had sold off twenty
head of cattle to drOver and received
the cash in hand, and at the end of
the day had found his wallet missing.
When it was hunted for in vain, the
lawyer charged Jacob with lying about
its loss, and the sister charged the law
yer with having found it and convert
ed the money to his own use. OF
course an action at law followed this
assertion, and one day Jake and Mary
awoke to the fact that they had five
or six suits on hand against each 9th
er, to say nothing of two or three ex-
ira ones brought by the lawyer and
the sister to keep things from getting
