Legal Fight Looms Over Gold on Farm
BRONSON Michigan July 19 Second strike of gold within a week on a farm threatens a legal battle for possession. Frank Belote and his three sons unearthed 1800 in gold coins dating before 1902 and pulled 1120 more from an old cylinder under his porch. Sheriff Burss deposited the money in a bank. Neighbor Leddie Kregger declined to confirm a possible find. Michigan law allows half of undisputed treasure to the finder after notice, with the rest to the county. Kregger ordered further digging. Belote quipped about farming without digging.
