The title to about 10,000 acres of Linville Mountain land was in volved in the case of Percv Mc- George vs. The Realty Load & Guaranty Co. of Morganton, on trial before Referee W. D. Turner of Statesville, in Marion last week. Mr. McGeorge claims his title un der the old Mockridge grants, dated about 1872. The Morganton Com pany had the old Tate grants, more than 100 years old, covering this land but nard to locate. It appears from the testimony that an investi gation as to the merits of the Mock ridge grants was made by John M. Houck, who filed a report in 18S9 indicating that the Mockridge grants could not be located, so new grants were taken out by Walter Brem, in 1889, and it is under these grants that the company has been ooiaing me iana ever since, it is claimed by the company that the Mockridge grants, which call for 1 T-ft 1 was emo.vea. xterresn- j tv word ho.
