Lawsuit m Old Room
Carried am SCO Year*
A generally little-known region,
quite close to Rome, is called the Pon
tine Marshes. A large qoandrangle
formed by the foothills of the Al
ban volcanoes, the Lepias Mountains,
by the wooded sand dnaes of the
roast, and by Mount Circeo, msaiui -
ing some 160,000 acres of extraor
dinarily fertile land, is known to his
tory as the Pontine Marshes. The
water, hemmed in on all sides, can
not flow oat.
In olden times the whole land was
densely populated and highly produc
tive. Twenty-three towns arr sup
posed to have existed where now one
sees not a trace of a single building.
The Romans with great daring and
with an enormous expenditure of la
bor. dug right through the dunes at
sea level and this gigantic cut, with
the sides river a hundred feet high,
appears today. The condition of the
Pontine land became worse and worse.
The water could not find suffi
cient outlet and during the rainy
season inundated large tracts of land.
Each group of inhabitants, there
fore, strove principally to divert the
waters from their own properties to
those of their neighbors. Lawsuits
were instituted and wars broke out
Incessantly in every direction.
The longest lawsuit ever recorded.
It is said, resulted. For about MO
years it was carried on, and only
ended about 1790. When the decis
ions of the courts did not suit the
people they resorted to arms .and
many bloody battles were fought.

Whenever Comanche's tail becomes
