"The Free Lance" Issue August 28, 1903 LAND LITIGATION Before Master J.J. BURNETT this morning, the long standing case of the Probate Judge vs. Wesley HAYES et al came up for a hearing. The case is a very interesting one, having been in the courts for about a quarter of a century, and involving only about $1000 worth of land. The property is situated near White Stone, and some 30 or 35 different people lay part claim to it. The court room was well nigh filled with claimants this morning. The case bears a resemblance to the one of "JARNDYCE vs. JARNDYCE", only no one has as yet been driven mad or to suicide because of it. The attorneys interested are Nicholls & Jones and C.P. Sanders and Stanyarne Wilson. At 2 o'clock the hearing was adjourned until next Wednesday. CONCERNING MRS. BOYESEN We are much surprised here to learn that Mrs. Jennie BOYESEN has been accused of theft in your town. This is contrary to her whole life, which has been spent among us. I have known her many years and would never suspect it of her. I cannot conceive of her willingness to commit such an act, nor can I conceive of the necessity; for she has enough of this world's goods without it. I think that if you were to interview the leading citizens here, you would find her duly and truly prepared, worthy and well qualified, and properly vouched for as an honest woman.
