DISPUTE OVER THE
BOUNDARY LINE
OF .STATES
Tennessee and North Carolina
Issued Grants for Land
Both Claimed
A NUMBER OF SUITS AROSE
Supreme Court Dismisses De
fendant's Appeal, Though
Other Cases Are Pending
Clerk W.S. Hyami of the United
States court today 'received notice of
a very important ruling of the United
States Supreme court in a case in
which the boundary line between the
states of North Carolina and Tennes
see is involved and also a large boun
dary of valuable mountain land sup
posed to be located in North Carolina,
but claimed by United States Senator
Wetmore of Rhode Island and others
from the same state and the heirs at
law of M. Fain of North Carolina who
contend that the land lies tn the state
of Tennessee. As a result of thta con
tention, officers of the one state were
arrested by officers of the other for
trespassing and placed in Jail.
Action for recovery was brought and
the matter fought in both the Tennes
see and North Carolina courts with the
result that It was carried to the Unit
ed States Supreme court. That is, one
phase of the question. Other litigation
is still pending;
GRANTS FROM TWO STATES.
It seems that a great many years ago
the state of North Carolina issued
grants to certain tracts of land then
supposed to be in this state. Previous
to that time the state of Tennessee had
also issued grants for the same lands
upon the supposition that these tracts
were in Tennessee. The difficulty about
the location arose from the uncertainty
of the boundary line between North
Carolina and Tennessee. The grant
ees from the state of North Carolina
who were Messrs. Fain and others
from the county of Cherokee, insisted
that the state line followed a certain
mountain ridge and the grantees of
the state of Tennessee insisted upon
another. Commissions appointed by
the state of North Carolina attempted
to locate the dividing line between
these states but it was rumored that
after reaching a certain point on the
Smoky Ridge they met up with a
blockade still and instead of surveying
definitely, as is most usual under such
circumstances, guessed the location
and the line has been in doubt ever
since.
FAINS DISPOSSESSED.
The parties claiming the land in
Tennessee brought an action of eject
ment in that state, obtained a writ of
possession and dispossessed the Fains,
one of whom was then living upon the
land. After Fain had been ejected, he
commenced a suit in the county of
Cherokee against the United States
marshal and his deputy who had dis
possessed him, sent out an order of
arrest and placed it in the hands of
the sheriff of Cherokee county, who at
once invaded the same premises with
his posse and arrested the United
States marshal and his deputy, brought
them to Murphy in Cherokee county
and placed them in jail. The action by
Fain and others was for $20,000 dam
ages. HABEAS CORPUS DENIED.
The United States marshal frorn
Tennessee sued out a writ of habeas
corpus in the United States court
which was heard by Judge Ewart who
upon hearing the writ dismissed it and
remanded the marshals back into the
custody of the North Carolina officials.
The United States marshal guve bond
and appealed to the United States Cir
cuit Court of Appeals at Richmond.
After hearing the case at Richmond
the Court of Appeals rendered a Judg
ment overruling Judge Bnvart and the
North Carolina parties appealed to the
Supreme court of the United States.
APPEAL. DISMISSED.
They failed to perfect their appeal
as required by the rule3 of the Supreme
court and upon motion the appeal was
.ismissed and the mandate of that
court has been sent to the Circuit
court for the western district of rorth
Carolina at Asheville and is now a rec
ord of that court.
SUITS AND COUNTER SUITS.
In the meantime the North Carolina
parties brought an action in the Unit
ed States Circuit court in the state of
Tennessee for the possession of the
land in Tennessee and obtained a writ
of error from the Circuit court at
Knoxville to the Court of Appeals for
that district. The Court of Appeals
heard the writ at Cincinnati, reversed
the Judgment under which the gran
tees in the state of Tennessee dispos
sessed the Fains and granted a new
trial to the Fains in Tennessee. A new
trial was held and the Fains succeed
ed in the action, and the Tennessee
parties obtained a Writ or error to the
Circuit Court of Appeals in that trial
and the hearing of the writ is now
pending in the Court of Appeals at
Cincinnati for argument.
The action for $20,600 against the
United States marshal is still pending
In Ttorth Carolina and now stands In
the Superior court of Cherokee.
Messrs. Seymour, McCroskey and
Jones and Jones appear as counsel for
the United States marshals and the
parties interested In the recovery of
the land, and Messrs. Merrimon and
iMerrlmon and Posey and Axley appear
for the North Carolina parties.

A Great Mxisic
Hold Summer Session Here
Asheville Summer School Officers Endeavoring to Secure New
England Conservatory of Music, and
Apparently Will Succeed
For some time the question, "Will
there be any summer school here this
season?" has been asked by Asheville
people, and the general interest that
is expressed shows that the summer
schools of the past have been appreci
ated. A summer school such as Asheville
has had for the past few years there
will not be at least, not from the pres
ent outlook, but an effort is being made
by the directors of the summer school
company, to secure the summer session
of an instiution known all over the
country the New England conserva
tory of Music.
For some time the movement has
been on foot and the hoped for result is
now almost certain. But a few ar
rangements beside those already made(
have to be completed and It these are
satisfactorily concluded, Asheville will
nave for two months the best known
conservatory in the country.

If all things are -satisfactory the
school wirl close la Boston late in
June, and faculty and students will ar
rive here early in July to remain until
the latter part of August. As the
school is one of the largest, in the
country, it will not be dependent for the
season's success on local patronage of
the branches taught, but it is probable
that many Asheville people will take
advantage of an excellent opportunity
of two months fine training. The con
servatory has a large southern patron

est number of southern girls of any
similar institution in the north.
Asheviile's advantage in having such
a school would be obvious. Beside the
benefit to music students in having
such a school here at home, concerts
and recitals would be given.

Conferences With Power Com
pany Leave Little Doubt as
' To Establishment
The party of northern capitalists
here, interested in , a bleaching factory
for Asheville, mention of whicli was
made In yesterdajr's Citizen, held an
other conference yesterday afternoon
with President Weaver of the Weaver
Power company, in regard to the pro
posed movement on foot. As was stat
ed in The Citizen all of these men are
highly pleased with the situation. They
believe that by a finishing factory here
a great deal of money can be saved to
the cotton mOl men of the south. Ashe
ville's nearness to the big South Caro
lina cotton mills is another point in
favor of the location.
The entire party are highly pleased
with the conditions. "It is most ideal,"
said Mr. Seabury to a Citizen represen
tative. Another strong point In favor of the
tocatton is that a natural water fall of
more than 30 feet is obtained at the
proposed site of the works. The area of
land owned and controlled by the Wea
ver Power company is 300 acres. In
the boundary of land deeded to the
company by W. T. Weaver there was
one tract known as the cotton mill
tract located near Beaverdam creek
upon which it is proposed that the
bleachery be located.
It Is the desire of the capitalists in
terested in this movement that the cit
izens of the town will lend their co-operation
in the matter not so much in
lollars and cents as in good will. How
ever, some money will be asked for.
Mr. Hart, one of the party of capital
ists, will explain the situation of af
fairs at this evening's meeting to be
held In the auditorium In the interest
of the proposed movement. Mr. Hart
will make a proposition and wlii give
in round figures estimates, etc., of
profits to be realized. His company is
willing to at once go ahead and expend
three-ouarters of a million dollars here
in industrial improvements if a proper
guarantee from the citizens of the town
together with their hearty co-operation
In the matter can be secured. Mr.
Hart has already taken the question
up with the Southern railway which
has agreed "to do the right thing" in
the matter which it is understood prac
tically means the delivery here of the
output of all southern cotton mills
free of charge. The Southern perhaps
would not make much reduction If any,
n the freight rate on the finished pro
duct. The bulk of the finished product
would be exported, the most of it going
to China.
It is believed by many well known
citizens of the town that the support
asked for by the capitalists interested
tn the matter will be forthcoming and
that the big finishing factory is an as
sured thing for A6heville.
