ITO the maintenance of this principle,

AN OLD CLAIM FOR LAND.
The People of Three Counties stir
red UD over the Matter.


Winston, N c., May 15.-The people Of
Mitchell, Caldwell and Watauga counties
are greatly stirred up over the appear
ance of two men named Cochrane and
Tate, with a party OF surveyors. These
two men have surveyed 106,5O0 acres Of
land in these counties, and say that it
belongs to them. They are armed with
deeds and land grants dating l0l years
ago. wherein the land that they claim
was decided 10 their era 'arents by the
government for services rendered. Grand
father Mountain, the Cranberry Iron
works and the whole town Of Linnville
are included in the claim. At first the
people thought Il was some wildcat
scheme but the confidence Coehrane and
Tate exhibit and the documents they
have lately brought to bear have put a
serious aspect on the matter, and many
of the people now think 1t quite probable
that they will have to give up their homes
or Tebuy them. Mr.. Cochrane was born
in Watauga, but in early life moved to
Alabama, and later went TO California
