Paper: Bucks County Gazette City: Bristol, Pennsylvania Date: Thursday, March 8, 1877 Page: 4 (of 4)
The Iowa lawyers have had a wrangle over a meteor. A large fragment of the big meteor of 1875 fell in the highway on lands owned by the Amana Society, and a German named Mass picked it up. The society claimed titled under the law of secretion, the realty of the highway belonging to them, and whatever came to the land�s natural accretion being part of the realty. The German put in a counter claim based upon original discovery and the nine points of the law. The court has decided that the society have the better title, and the fragment of the meteor will be placed in the State University.

The NPA in the subject line, stands for Newspaper Article. The old list server allowed us a search feature the current does not, so I guess this is more for quick reference and shortening the subject line now.
