ing chapter to long drawn -out.piece
of litigation was written at the court
house last Saturday when the old
John F. Lane farm was sold under a
sheriff's sale in partition and bid in
for $500 by Arthur T. Brewster.
Several years ago Mr.. Brewster and
Thomas j. Mathis each undertook to
buy out heirs to the farm. Mr.. Math-
is got possession to six tenths Of the
estate and Mr.. Brewster got four
tenths, including the dover right,
which gave him possession. As re-
suit of this squabble three or four law
suits followed. At one time Mathis
brought suit and got judgment OF
ejectment against Brewster. Then
Brewster filed suit and received $400
in damages against Mathis. There
were other suits and then suit In par

of the owners an equal opportunity to
buy in the farm and get clear title
to it, When the litigation started the
old land mill stood on the bank of
Gene Creek atwhat is known as the
Roxie dam. The mill has fallen into
the creek and disappeared, as has the
dam, The site is considered an ad-
mirable water mill site and at one time
supported a very prosperous little
water mill. Mr.. Brewster is planning
to have the site investigated by engi-
neers with view to putting in wa
