LINE FENCE CONTROVERSY
SETTLED; TWO ARE FINED
Sugar Tree Is Divided Among
Three Property Owners

The controversy over the line fence
which resulted in charges and counter
charges of assault with intent to kill,
was settled last Friday before Justice
w. A. Gender, of Oakland, when he
fined w. E. Swauger and Harry
Swauger 81 and costs each and found
the others not guilty.
The sugar tree which is said to
have started all the trouble, has been
designated as the point at which three
properties come together, giving the
owners each one-third interest.
The three warrants issued at the
order of Asa House against w. E.
Swauger, Harry Swauger, and Bud
Swauger were the first on the docket,
but the Swaugers wanted jury trial.
The warrents charging Thomas Plat
ter and Asa House with assault, is
sued at the order of W. E. Swauger,
were next. Justice Gender found
Platter and House not guilty. The
attorneys then persuaded the Swaug-
ers to present their cases on the testi-
mony already given, and Justice Con-
der fined Harry Swauger and w. E.
Swauger and dismissed the charge
against Bud Swauger. The costs being
heavy, the fine was lightened.
According to an agreement before
the parties involved left the Magis-
trate's office, Platter gets one-third
of the sugar tree, W. E. Swauger one
third, and George Heir the remaining
third.
