Concerning the Road Law.


A subscriber at Oak Harbor writes
The Ranch asking information upon
a matter that is not very definitely
stated, but which concerns the result
of resurveying a plat of ground. He
states that when the land has been
cleared he is able to look over it,
and finds that half mile lines are like

Mention is also made of the county
commissioners having accepted new
road, but now find that it does not
connect properly with the old one,
which, we take it, may have been due
to mistakes in surveying. The ques-
ton is an important one, especially to
land owners in the wooded parts OF
the state. The Ranch would be pleased
if the Oak Harbor correspondent would
make a fuller definition of the trouble
and perhaps we can make a direct
answer. In the meantime we give
here the road law of the state, which,
in a measure, applies to the subject

Even here they kept up their fight ing until forcibly pulled apart by the referee, seconds and spectators.
 Gibbs was the first to return to the ring and as soon as he was in, he turned and started for Egan who by this time was only half way through the ropes. Egan was forced to jump back into the crowd to save himself. Finally matters were straightene,l out and the men went on with the bout in an almost civilized manner. Gibbs was the aggressor throughout, though Egan was the stronger. Gibbs would have received the referees de- cision had one been given.
 Eddie Johnson and Billy smith met in what was billed as the star bout of the evening. Johnson kept on top or his man all through the go and at the end Smith was almost out.
