D|SPUT|NG TITLE
TO 100000 ACRES
Supreme Court Reopens Buch-
anan County Case by Grant
ing Writ of Error.

Renewed impulse to litigation in
volving the ownership of 100000 acres
of coal land in Buchanan County was
given yesterday. when the Supreme
Court of Appeals granted a writ OF
error and supersedeas to the plaintiff
in the case of the Buchanan Company
against Smyth. Banks and others. On
account of rich mineral deposits, the
land is of immense value. being esti-
mated to be worth millions of dollars.
The litigation has it's origin in the
sale of the land for taxes in 1916. The
title to the tract is said to be blurred
by an error in the name of one of the
parties interested in this transaction.
Richard" Smyth being written In one
instance instead OF Robert" Smyth.
The case comes from the Washing
ton County Circuit Court. where it was
transferred for hearing by mutual
agreement of the parties to the litiga-
ton. After attorneys for the Buch-
anan company had presented their ar
guments TO Judge Il. b. Hutton. the
defendants introduced demurrer.
which was sustained by the court.
Thereupon the plaintiffs made an
amendment to their bill. and the de-
PENDANTS. demurring again. were sec
ond time upheld by Judge Hutton. The
writ was granted upon the second de-
murrer.
