DUNN SQUARE CASE , TO HAVE RE-TRIAl Owner Valuable Piece of Pro perty Must Yet Bo De termined By Salt The Supreme Coart yesterday sent back to the lower court of Harnett for a new trial the case of tha Atlan tic Coast Line against the Town of Dunn brought to determini title to Lucknow Square claimed by the town . as a public square and by the railroad as a piece of property acquired by it through a auccenaion of daada. The Superior court gave a deviaion la fa vor of the railroad. —, « The property represents approxi mately the acreage of a large city block and is very valaable. In 1880, according to facts agreed upon by both parties to the aetion. It was conveyed by Henry Pope to Henry Watkins and J. B. Edgerton in a thirty-seven and a half acre trail. In 1192, according to the plaintiff, these owners sold the land contain ing Lucknow Square to tlb bit, Carolina Land and Improvement com pany and on May 28,1917, this com Dftny (oovevfH Uip nrfiMir!v. in wfoU*)i it is alleged the Lucknow Square was included, to the plaintiff who has oc cupied it since. 'Dir defense claimed that while Walters and Edgorton ware owners there was a subdivision ad tho 17 12 acres, streets were laid off and the contested property made into a pub lic square. In 1887 an auction tale was conducted at which time it was stated that the block under contro versy should remain a public square and should never be sold. Sines then, the town of Dunn has improved the property. Judge E. H. Cranmer, trial judge, Instructed the jury that seven yean adverse possession under known UBd vlalbjc lines and boundaries and un der color erf title will ripen title aad be s bar to oil poraojM.
