ment Suit involving One Thou
sand Acres in North Georgia.

Accidental finding OF the contents
of Colonel John J. Woodside may
make clear the title of Hal III. Bacon,
of Savannah, to 1000 acres of North
Georgia land and decide the status of
ownership of vast area in that part
Of the State.
Seldom has coincidence played such
an important part in case as in the
suit by Mr.. Bacon against the United
Staten Government to gain what lie
| claims is his property, in progress
before Judge w. T. Newman in the
Federal Building
Mr.. Bacon set forth claim that
in the tract of 1900 acres put aside
by the Government to protect the
source of certain streams there was
something like 900 to which he held
a deed That claim developed an
interesting history of a State grant.
Deeds Date Back to 1847.
It was that in 1S47 the State of
Georgia granted to l.. F. Harris and
NJ. E. Millen 10000 acres. good
part of that property finally came
into the possession of NJ. 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 a 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 until
| last fall, when Colonel Woodside pre-
pared TO sell it for storage along with
| lot of other unclaimed goods.
Owner Died Last Year.
He had traced the owner and found
| that he had died last November Be
| fore auctioning off the trunk, how
ever, he decided to look into 1t. There
| he found the boots and clothes and
| full outfit of a prospector. and in one
corner stuck together with beeswax
sorie interesting old Georgia land
grants. He did not sell it.
| Colonel Woodside was on the jury
| In the Federal Court Tuesday and
heard the discussion of the lost rec
ords. 1t revived the memory of the
strange old trunk.
Attorney John K. Macdonald, Jr., of
the firm Of Dorsey, Brewster, Howell!
and Newman, was instructed by Judge
Newman to examine the contents. He
| did and found grants and RECORDS
