HATTESBURC MISSISSIPPI TUESDAY AFTERNOON FEBRUARY 1912
SIX Land SUITS
FILED Al BILOXI
Sixteenth Section Question A Source
OF Constant Litigation In
State.

Biloxi, Miss, Feb. 6.-Five suits in
equity have been filed in the Federal
Court for the southern district of Mis-
sissippi, Biloxi division, alleging fraud
in the sales of sixteenth section lands
in Greene county.
The suits are filed by the State of
Mississippi ex rel the Attorney Gen
eral against various defendants, chief
ly timber spectators and lumber man.
ufacturers. They were originally filed
in the chancery court of Greene coun-
ty, during the regime of Attorney Gen
eral Hudson, and, on petition of the
defendants, ordered removed to the
deral Court.
The old question of whether lessees
of sixteenth section land have the
right to remove merchantable timber
therefrom is the basis of action The
Attorney-General is assisted in the
cases by Messrs. Flowers, Alexander
& Whitfield, of this city, and Ford,
White & Ford, of Biloxi.
In One of the suits, filed against
John Bledgett, of Grand Rapids, Mich.
it is averred that the board of supervis-
ors agreed to accept $1,000 for a lease
on certain sixteenth section lands,
when as a matter of fact the timber
thereon was alone worth over $4,000,
and that the board of supervisors was
aware of the actual value of the tim
Der when lease was made, and Of the
intention of the lessee to cut the tim
ber therefrom.
This transaction, according to the
states allegation, was fraudulent
made without authority in law, and
without the consent of the residents
of the township. Averments in the
four other suits are of similar charac
ter.
The state and Federal courts in
Mississippi have been at loggerheads
for several years over the question Of
the right to remove timber from 18th
section lands, the state courts holding
that this right does not exist, while
Judge Niles took the opposing view
Numerous suits by nonresident par
ties have been carried to the United
States Supreme Court.
In the meantime State Revenue
| Agent Writ Adams Is prosecuting
numerous suits against 10th section
land lessees to collect the value of tim
! p or removed from these lands.
