BITTER FIGHT
OVER ORIGINAL
SECTION LINES
Whole Township Involved in
Litigation Over Correction
of Old Survey.

Armour, s. D., May 27.-+The case OF
Wentzel Brothers against Isaac Clau-
son and wife, tried at the circuit court
last week in the city Of Armour, In
volved the question OF the accuracy of
the survey of Belmont township made
by e. II. Antwerp OF Yankton In June,
1907. E. r. Wanzer OF Armour and c..
III. Dillon OF Yankton represented the
plaintiffs, while c. j. Kahn Of Armour
and French n Oryis OF Yankton rep
resented the defendants. The case was
vigorously contested on both sides, re-
sulting In a clear cut victory for the
plaintiffs. The a q turned on the
question as to whether certain old
mounds testified to by the defendants
witnesses were original corners or not.
The plaintiffs claimed hat they were
not and that there was no section or
quarter section corners in the interior
OF the entire township.
Old Mounds misleading.
There was no dispute but what the
made by Mr.. Van Antwerp was
Interiorly correct in case the old
mounds claimed by the defendants
were not original government corners.
The lines as indicated by these old
mounds were crooked lines and in this
particular cas- leaves the plaintiffs
from 30 to 40 acres short on their half
section OF land while the straight lines
contended for by the plaintiffs gives
each man In the township his land as
called for in the government patent.
The case has been long and bitterly
fought between the rival parties and
feeling runs high I'm the township. The
defendants state they will appeal the
to the supreme court. This part
OF the state was surveyed AZ years ago
and a witness for the plaintiffs, Mr..
formerly county commissioner
Of this county, but now a resident of
Des Mofnes, was a rodman with the
company of engineers that surveyed
the land, in that particular township
years ago. ... ..
