An Oak Point gravel case was tried be-
fore Judge Peters in the Ellsworth munici-
pal court Monday. The case is in many
| respects unique. Southwest point, so
called, jutting into Union river bay from
Oak Point, is gravel point, and from
here many loads of gravel are taken by
small bay coast vessels to Bar Harbor and
elsewhere. The line between property
| owned by Edward E. Brady and Alonzo
! Grindle bisects the point. Mr.. Brady
| owns the northern shore part of the point
and Mr.. GrindIe the southern shore. Mr..
Grindle sold gravel to a vessel which
loaded from his shore. Mr.. Brady brought
suit against the four men composing the
some doubt as to the exact location OF the
line dividing the point. The defendants
claim the hole from which the gravel was
taken is over thirty-eight feet from the
line; Mr. Brady believes it was much nearer
the line. He does not claim that the gravel
was taken from his property, but does
claim that the hole left will be filled by
gravel washed by the sea from his shore,
and that he is damaged thereby. The de-
PENDANTS claims, on the other hand, that
the gravel is washed from the other di-
rection, and that all the gravel on Mr..
Brady's side of the point has been washed
over from the southerly side Of the point
which is built up from gravel bar ex-
tending out into the bay, south of the
point, and that there is really more gravel
on the point now than there was twenty
years ago. Many witnesses were called,
and the case involves several points of law.
D. E. Hurley for PLAINTIFF F. L. Mason for
defendants. Judge Peters reserved his
decision.
