those powers as the court will take and
does take judicial notice of its own jul
risdiction.
Also that the rights of bona-fide set
tiers were matters of defense and that it
was not necessary to make them parties,
unless the petition disclosed the fact that
they had an interest in result OF suit,
and that the only parties shown by the
petition in this case 10 be in any way in
terested in the result Of this suit were
James w. Lynch and the Ponca City
Land and Improvement company That
if the allegations Of the petition were
true there could be no innocent purchas-
ers, for the reason that If the Ponca City
Land and Improvement company is not a
legal entity and has no standing in law
that then and in the event they could
not pass title.
The court also held that If the patent
issued to Lynch by the United States is
cancelled that as a matter Of law the
land would revert to the United States
and become public domain, and that the
townsite occupants would take title from
the United States under the townsite
laws.
This case will be stubbornly fought by
the able counsel on both sides, and ev-
cry move made in the case is watched
with much interest by everybody.
