possible exception is tar, which re
quires a great deal of labor to prepare

SWEEPING LAND SUIT
Title to Summer Rest, Seaside
Resort, is Involved in Legal
Controversy.
MRS. M. E. IRVIN, CLAIMANT.
Says Property Belongs to Her by Deed of
Trnst Executed ia I85e Many De
fendants Are Named Counsel
Will Appear ob Both Sides.
, A summons has just been issued for
a suit in the Superior Court in this
county which Involves the title to the
land upon which the seaside resort,
"Summer Rest," is located.
The suit is one of the largest in the
history ' of the county. The plaintiff
la Mrs. -ft ary &Iryla, of Wilmington,
and she sues to " dispossess" a large'
number of property owners at the
resort mentioned, who will fight the
matter ia the court until the bitter
end, in theerent it is pushed. The
defendants are Messrs. Pembroke Jones,
W. B. Blanks, E. O. Toother, Dr.
Will Pritchard, of New York, estate
of the late "M. Cronly, Frank Gause,
Owen and H. L. Fennell and Mrs.
Mamie E. Fennell, the Gilbert heirs,
L. A. Blue and wife. Mrs. Annie E.
Bowdeu and a number of others.
The tract of land involved makes
practically a clean sweep from Baron
Inlet to Lee's Creek.
The property is claimed under a
deed of assignment made in ,1856 by
the late Benj. Motte to Bernard Bax
ter, by the provisions of which it was
transferred to Baxter in trust for the
assignor's wife and her descendants.
Some of the defendants say the pro
ceeding is an unheard-of one and has
no foundation in law. The claimant,
however, appears equally confident of
success and has employed K. M.
Koonce, Esq., of Onslow, to prosecute
the matter. Ex-Judge E. K. Bryan
and L. A. Blue, Esq., will resist the
proceeding. Other attorneys will also
appear when tbe case comes up in the
Superior Court

first mentioned came up to the city
yesterday. Maj. Guthrie left for bis
home in Durham.
