her of applications from people who are
residents of this state and adjoining
states for permission TO join the choir and
accompany it on the proposed trip, but

pieces is being organized and numerous
applications are coming in for member

choir. Practices will begin about the lat
ter end of August and will continue sys-

MR. LAWSON SEEKS A CITY DEED
PROPERTY NEVER CONVEYED
BY THE MAYOR.
Valuable Lot On Third and r Streets
Appears to Have Changed Owner
ship Without Good Title.

As many times as lot 2, block %, plat G.,
has been mortgaged, bought and sold. it
has just been discovered that the original
claimant or his successor in interest never
obtained title from the city under the
townsite act. The land in question is
worth several thousand dollars, and is
now occupied with fine homes. 1t is on
the corner of Third and r streets, facing
south and west.
Recently A F. Lawson attempted to Sc
cure a mayors deed TO the lot, in order
to cure the defect in title, but Mayor
Clark did not quite understand the matter
and on Tuesday evening his honor re-
ferred the question TO the city council,
with the request that the corporation
counsel be directed to look into the mys-
terry and advise him as to what should be
done. The council made the desired or
der.
In the typewriter deed presented by
Mr. Lawson to the mayor for his sigma
ture, but which he refused to give without
knowing what he was doing, IL is recited
Gated by. the probate court to a. F. Law

ords yesterday failed to reveal the fact as

David Z. Wright had a claim on the lot
prior to 1872, and that Diana E. Wright
nled declaratory statement of owner
ship in January of that year, but If there
was ever any adjudication of the claim,
the records do not show it.
Mr.. Lawson obtained title from Diana.
Wright and also from one Wilkerson by
quit claim deeds. and by assignment of
tax sale liens held by B. Y. Hampton
years ago. 1t would appear, too. from
the records that Mr.. Lawson still has an
interest adverse to present owners in a
portion of the lot. Portions of the lot in
question have passed through the owner
ship of Major +. y. Grant, J. NJ. Kennedy

nent citizens.
1t is not at all probable that the city
authorities will raise any objection TO

title, as soon as il is satisfactorily shown

ance from the municipality.
