SHARKEY CONTENTION OF ADVERSE POS SESSION WON'T HOLD GOOD ON LANDS NOT OCCUPIED. In January, 1887, Chestina C. Will iams conveyed 1C0 acres of land near New Era to H. C. Cross and N. W. Randnll, who later sold It to J. C. Bradtl, describing It by metes and hounds. In 18S9 Mrs. Williams sold the balance of her holdings to M. J. Sharkey and when he . received his deed It called for 75 1-3 acres, describ ing It by metes and bounds. The sec ond deed covered a portion of the laud first sold to Cross and Randall, the overlap embracing about ten acres. The sale to Bradtl was made In 1906 and a survey made at that time dis closed the overlap. Sharkey then In sisted that Bradtl must have more than his deed called for and he finally agreed that if he had he would re-need to Sharkey. A second survey showed that Bradtl only had the amount his deed called for. In 1907 Bradtl sold the timber on a nortion of his holdings and the land la dispute was a part of It. Sharkey ai that erected a fence at the point he claimed as his line and told Bradtl to keep off. Bradtl's cutters went ahead however and then this suit was filed. Bradtl finally brought suit to quiet title and save further dispute. At this point in the proceedings each In a ban tering way offered to pay the other a trifling sum to settle out of court. Sharkey tried to prove adverse hoB tile possession to demonstrate title. But the fact thnt the land in dispute was covered with tlmbet and brush, and that Sharkey could not have pos session to an extent thnt would give him adverse possession, was the con tention of Bradtl's attorneys and the finally accepted opinion of the court. The outcome was that the court hold with the first deed as given to Cross and Randall, and Bradtl won hU contention and a clear title. J. E. Hedges was attorney for plain tiff. .
