THE RIGHT OF DOVER.
Dover Claimed in Erwin's Mill After
the Lapse Of Forty-SiN Years..
Difficulties in Securing Proof

Juhge Lyon had quite an interesting case
before his court yesterday.
Mrs. Elizabeth Wilson OF the city Of An
derson. widow of John Wilson, deceased,
through her attorney, j. e.. {. FeatherSton,
had served the necessary legal papers on
Judge Lyon, preliminary to the requiring
of him to set of to her dover In the tract ol
land now known as the Erwin Mill property,
and containing Gi0 acres. and yesterday had
been set for the hearing; The widow alleged
that her late husband. John Wilson, had at
one time during his life time, and since their
marriage, owned tho above mentioned proper
ty, and that it had been sold from him by the
Sheriff or other Court officer, and that she lad
not consented to the sale, and had not signed
away her dower:in the land.
Mr.. Mnlcom Erwin, through his attorney,
McsSrS. Bcnet Smith. answered by general
denial Of the justice of her claim,
The marriage of John and Elizabeth wilson
was admitted, rs was also the death Of John
Wilson. The only question being rs to
whether the deceased John Wilson had ever
owned the property.
Mr., Fca.hcrston proved that tho property
in question had been the property OF Hugh
Wilson who died In 1896: witnesses did not
know Whether john Wilson went into posses.
sion rs administration, owner or tenant;
John Wilson administered on the estate that
u new water wheel and race had hccu made
that the tract Of land in question consisted
of only about l3lacreS; thatthe property was
process In 1870 that John Smith OF Laurtns
county became the purchaser; that John
Wilson liad said that lie owned it; that he
had bought it at a sale previous to the one at
which smith bought II.
The defence claimed that John Wilson had
been acting with the property, only for tho
estate ms administrator in the management of
the property: that he had no title to 1t; that
the land was sold in 1910 as the property OF
the estate Of Hugh Wilson, and not as the
property ot John Wilson,
No witness testified positively that John
Wilson ever owned the mill or not, and the
Probate Court had such doubts in his mind as
to whether the mill was sold IN 1910 as the
property of Hugh Wilson or John Wilson
that he has reserved his dcciSion-thOugh
from the testimony 1t appears that the claim
of dover will he denied.
In case judgment should be obtained
against Mr.. Erwin he will have recourse on
the estate of Johr Smith from whom he has
4 warranty title.
