from the friends and relatives of

French, one Danish, thirty-two German

VALUABLE DEEDS
DISCOVERED IN
OLD TRUNK
Odd Recovery May Settle Govern
ment Suit Involving One Thou
sand Acres in North Georgia.

Accidental finding of the contents
of an old trunk left in warehouse
Of Colonel John j. Woodside may
make clear the title Of Hal II. Bacon,
of Savannah, to 1000 acres of North
Georgia land and decide the status of
of the State.
Seldom has coincidence played such
an important part in a case as in the
suit by Mr.. Bacon against the United
States Government to gain wha he
claims is his property, in progress
before Judge w. T. Newman in the
Federal Building
Mr. Bacon set forth a claim that
in the tract Of $4,000 acres put aside
by the Government to protect the
source of certain sterams there was
something like 1.000 to which he held
a deed, That claim developed an
in teresting history of State grant.
Deeds Date Back to 1s47.
1t was that in 1S47 the State of
Georgia granted to L. F. Harris and
NJ b. Millen 5000 0acres. a good
part of that property finally came
into the possession of M. Bacon. In
the progress of the case, though, it
proved very difficult to prove some
of these titles and evidence was pre-
sented to show that number of them
had been destroyed in d fire in New
York.
About five years ago, Loring R. Mil
len placed an old trunk in the ware
house of Colonel John j. Woodside in
Atlanta. Soon after he disappeared
and the trunk lay undisturbed unit
last fall, when Colonel Woodside pre-
pared to sell it for storage along WIFE
lot of other unclaimed goods.
Owner Died Last eYar.
He had traced the owner and founc
that he had died last November. Be
fore autloning off the trunk, how
ever. he decided to look into 1t. There
he found the boots and clothes and
full outfit of prospector, and in one
corner stuck together with beeswaA
some interesting old Georgia lanC
grants. He did not sell 1t.
Colonel Woodside was on the jury
in the Federal Court Tuesday anc
heard the discussion of the lost rec
ords. 1t revived the memory or tht
strange old trunk.
Attorney John X. Macdonald, Jr, OF
the firm of Dorsey Brewster Howel
and Heyman, was instructed by judge
Newman to examine the contents. he
did, and found grants and records
that may prove very important.
