Valuable Land Never Patented.

A peculiar condition Is said to have
been discovered regarding the recent
transfer of the estate of the late Il. +.
Clspp to the Billikin Oil Company. This
company is composed of Jamestown N.
Y, men, among whom is Jas. Forbusb,
formerly of this city, says the Oil City
Derrick. In its purchase the company
took over about 1000 acres of land that is
heavily timbered. The investors decided
TO get rid of the timber and in looking up
the old deeds it has been discovered that
the title on about l 100 acres is obscured;
that although patent for the land was
made out 1t seems that the papers were
never signed. The late f. E. Clapp, or
the person from who he acquired the
land, 1t is said, purchased it at tax sale.
The effort of attorneys to discover per-
sons who are in a posltson to show that
Mr.. Clapp held undisputed pos session of
the property for the twenty-one years
preceding his death brought forth the
facts of the defect in title to light. They
have located an old resident of Forest
county, In which most of the timber tract
Is located, who is willing to swear to the
Clapp possession, and a similarly valu-
able witness has been located in d. p.
Kahle, the well.known oil operator Of
Lineville, this county.
1t is believed that it will be a mere
matter of form to secure good title
through their evidence, and when affi-
davits have been secured the attorneys
will go to Harrisburg and make spplics-
tion to have the original patent COM
pleted. The fact that during his lifetime
Mr.. Clapp refused to sell any of his i'm
mense holdings of land is POSSIBLY respon-
sible for the ia dy discovery of the condi-
tion of the title of this large tract, from
which none of the timber that has covered
1t since this section was wilderness, has
been cut.-Franklin News.
SALE OF TIMBER CoNsUMMATED.
Negotiations which have been going on
for some time were yesterday consum-
mated by which the fine body of timber

the property of John Coleman of Will
ismsport and Geo. f. and Harry II.
Watson OF Tionests. The deal was closed
and all papers passed, the consideration
being close to the $4,000 mark. The
purchase consists of tracts 1892 and 1897,
comprising 9, ,l4O acres and lying wholly
within Forest county. The timber on
these tracts consists principally of virgin
pine, upon which the woodsman's ak has
never been laid, although there is also
much hemlock and hardwood. 1t is in
fact the only pine timber tract left in this
section that has up to this time been un-
touched. The new owners are as yet un-
decided as to whether they shall place a
mill on the tract, or haul the timber to
location near railroad and manufacture
it there. This point will be decided
upon, however, in few days, and active
operations will be commenced forthwith.
In the deal the Billikin Oil Co., above
referred to, retains the land and minerals,
which includes oil and gas rights.

There was another automobile speed

this time. He pleaded guilty and was

smallest yet owing to the fact that he
waived the necessity of a constable

He heard of the fact that he was due
to be arrested and telephoning to the
Montville authorities found the report
was true and agreed to be there on
Wednesday and kept his word.
Although he pleaded guilty Mr.. Ed
carton was of the opinion that when
he went over the road he took care
that he was not exceeding the speed
limit and watched his speedometer
He noticed that he never exceeded q
miles an hour while on the road, but
