INTERESTING LAND CASE.
Missing Corner Stake and Faulty
Government Survey.

Lidgerwood Monitor: The law suit
between Mp. Proper and Louis
Wohlwend tried in the district court
last week involved a question that will
interest nearly If not all land owners
in this vicinity. Generally speaking,
all the stakes subdividing sections in
to quarters in this country have been
lost or destroyed and in many in
stances there is no trace of them left
to guide surveyor in relocating the
corner of the tracts and the dividing
lines between the farms. This was
true of the section owned by those two
farmers and they not agreeing on the
division line caused that case to be
commenced to determine where the
dividing line was located.
In addition to the missing stake,
the surveyors found an error of near
ly IL rods In the government measure
of the south line of this section, the
government figures being 639 rods,
while the survey and careful measure
ment tailed 626 rods, in round figures,
and each party wanted the other to
stand the loss of that shortage.
The evidence showed that prior to
the loss of the corner stakes that
back furrow had been plowed through
the section to indicate the dividing
dine and that after the dispute arose
over the line that Wohlwend built a
fence on the line of the back furrow.
On this showing the court held that
the fence was the dividing line be-
tween the farms which was the con-
tension of Wohlwend, while Proper
contended for the full 160 rods square
which his patent called for.
The location of the fence, held to be
the dividing line between the farms,
leaves Mr.. Propper's southeast quar-
ter of the section short of 100 acres, or
about $50 acres, and Mr.. Wohlwend's
southeast quarter, located on the
west line of the township, which is a
correction line in the government sur
vey, and supposed to be short or over
as the case may be, is not to be re-
duced by reason of error in the gov
eminent survey.
