Or., was granted to - the Coos Bay Wagon Road company for the con--st ruction of a -wag-on road from Rose burs' to Coos Bay. Title later passed to the Southern Oregon company and later the - land is said to have been turned back to the gorernment. As . the road -companies did not pay taxes, the Coos county sheriff brought fore closure -proceedings and later sold -the land to Mayse. The government con-, tends the sheriff had no right to sell the land after the property had been returned to it, and holds -that the .title to the property-is .not clear. If the government wins the suit, Mayse will probably have to look to Coos county for reimbursement, if he gets any. 'jJ?
