Among the exciting episodes occur
ing during the past week was the lot
Humping war between Messrs. James
Simpson and NJ. Goforth and l.. L. Nor
thrup. 1t seems that something over
five years ago Mr.. Northrup took q
tax title deed on lot in lola before
that time owned by Mr.. H. Givler.
He offered it to Mr.. Givler for the
money and interest due him, but the
offer was refused, as that gentleman
did not want the lot. Recently Messrs.
Simpson and Goforth paid Mr.. g. SO
for q quit claim of his interest, where
upon they proceeded to erect house
and take possession Of the lot. Mr..
Northrup thereupon tears down and
removes the lumber to his yard, hav-
, ing previously given notice to all tres
passers to keep off of his lot. The ques-
ton involves tax title deed, and should
, Mr.. Northrup's rights be assailed, a
test case may be looked for. AS to the
equities we express no opinion.
