Claimant Was "Extinctus
Defunctus."

In the days OF the first settlers In the
Chickasaw country, when Davy Crockett
still frequented the Big Hatchie, "Old
Man Giddings" was prosperous citi-
zen Of the Forked Deer settlement.
One day he started on trip to Arkan-
sas. and thenceforth for several years
Forked Deer knew him no more.
AS travel in Arkansas was dangerous,
and as nothing was heard of Giddings,
he was officially declared dead by the
court. and his estate divided among his
heirs. A year or so later, however, he
turned up and tried to get possession IF
his property. He was promptly seized
and taken into court.
What do you mean by coming round
here, trying to take this property"
roared the court at him.
ITS my property" asserted Giddings.
Everybody knows it's mine"
Not at all, replied the Judge "I'll
admit your case seems hard one, but
1t can't be helped now. This court has
decided that you are extinctus defunctus,
which is Latin for dead This court
cannot err. Dead you are. If you want
