Special to the Farmer.)

Southport, June 1.-The triangular piece of ground at the junction of thu Boston Post Road and the Connecti cut turnpike opposite the Round House cafe is again the subject of contention after a rest of several years. The title to the property vests in Miss Rose Coyle who bought the property from Matthew Anderson For year. the fences around the property have been down and the general public has made highway across the land. This week Miss Coyle employed Randall and George Smith to build a fence around the property and the old ob- jections arose. People travelling the road liked tho short cut and entered a protest. One of these was H. B Sherwood the foe man who followed his old route and ran over the lines of the builders. The arguments wax dagon melted. After the smoke clear ed away the carpenters went on with their job. It is now up to those who believe that the town owns the prop erty to prove their claim in court for Miss Coyie proposes to fight for what she believes are her rights in the mat ter.
