FISHING CASE IS UP
Case Of State VS.. George Price Heard
This Morning-other Superior

Attorneys who vividly recall the

held sway in local courts for more
than a year and finally went to the

stituted.
In the superior court Mrs. j. H.

informations against William Casey
and Charles E. Morey. charging them
with a malicious mischief, which
is an indictable misdemeanor. She
las consulted prosecuting attorney
Theodore Craig and the defendants
have employed John e. Craig as at
torney.
From the facts obtained in the case
it seems that there is dispute he
tween the two parties in the boundary
line or survey line of the two half lots.
Mrs Bently aolds that her house is
the boundary line and started to erect
a new fence on this line. Morey and
Casey objected, stating that according
to survey made IN April, l9ue, Inc
house was eighteen inches over the
line and they want Mrs. Bently to
build her fence on that survey line.
1t is reported that when Mrs. Bently
started the erection of her new fence
