Two warranty deeds were filed in the courthouse today. One transfers from Philip Donohoe to Cherokee Power Company for 1,000 dollars the south half of the northeast quarter of the southeast quarter of section 12 24-24, and grants water flowage rights along Grand river between Mus tang creek mouth and a marked high bluff, signaling the companys bid to secure prior rights for dam and power. The Cherokee firm, recently organized, aims to supply power in the region as Grand River Power Company also seeks a plant upstream. The second deed, from Marion W. Couch to H O Hindman for 1,000 dollars, conveys Lat block 17 Chelsea. The note ends with an unrelated sales pitch for Hollisters Rocky Mountain Tea.
