The family continued to reside on tk place, and in IBM young Van TVmd. then of ace. married and pur chased a plot from John Conselyea. The deed conveyed one ana a quarter acres, more or less. The boundary was a little stream which has since dried up. As the years went by and the small water barrier was removed Van Dorn. who was engaging in farming pur suits, was a little careless of the gnf of land he cultivated. No one told Mm to stop, and he worked a sec tion containing nearly five acres. He testified that he has held adverse pos session ever since, and in this he was corroborated by others. No one paid attention to him, be cause the land was not considered worth while bothering about. Beccnt ly, however, all the section around has been developed, and the value of the tend rose. Then some of the heirs of the former John. Coaselyea decided to evict Mr. Van Dorn and gain possession of the tend; but, having held it so long, he fought back. In the case that was submitted to tk court an the facts were agreed mpon, and it left but a question of Jaw for the court to decide to whom the ftoperty belonged.
