We have leases on about 32,ooo acres of land, and if we strike gas, as we expect to do, we will have suf- fcient amount to supply the city of Little Rock and points between here and Morrilton for at least 30 years, the length of our franchise.

SEVER CLAIM TO BE PUSHED
Conway People Interested as
 Heirs of Gen. Sevier.
Claim Against Government Involving Sev. eral Millions of Dollars Before
 Court of Claims

Conway and Faulkner county people will be interested in the following article taken from Satur- days Little Rock Gazette, as one of the interested parties, Mrs. P. H. Prince, lives in this city, and all are we'll known here.
 If the heirs of Gen. John Sevier, first governor of Tennessee, several of whom live in Arkansas, are suc- cessful in a petition which has just been filed with the United States Court of Claims, each of them will be enriched several hundred thou sand of dollars. The amount in- involved in the Court of Claims should decide ir favor of the heirs of Gen. Sevier is several millions of dollars.
 The claim filed by heirs of Gen. Seveir is based on two counts. In 1793 Gen. Sevier purchased with North Carolina state warrants I74,- 474 acres of land in what was then North Carolina, but which after the division of states became par, of Tennessee. These lands include some of the richest mineral and river districts of Tennessee. After the purchase, the United States, according to the petition of the Sevier heirs, without regard to Gen. Sevier's rights, made treaty with the Cherokee Indians and placed the Indians on portions o1 these lands. When the Indians were removed west of the Missis. sippi the government, according tc the claim, sold and disposed o1 these lands without paying Gen. Sevier for them.
 The second count of the petition declares that with warrants of the state of Georgia, issued for services to the United States government, Gen. Sevier purchased in 179; 63, 900 acres ot valuable land ir what was then the state of Georgia but is now a part of Alabama. Ac- cording to the count the United States made a treaty with certain Indian tribe, placing them or these lands also, without regard tc the interests of Gen. Sevier, and later when the Indians were re moved. sold the lands without re- paying Gen. Sevier.
 All the lands involved are now very valuable and are estimated to be worth several millions of dol lars.
 A short time ago the cause was argued in the Court of Claims al Washington, and the court decided that 1t has jurisdiction in this mat ter.
 The court held that if the proper proof could be brought forth that the government would be forced to pay the heirs of Gen. Sevier for the lands thus appropriated. In case the heirs should win the suit the government will have to pay inter est at the rate of 6 per cent from the time the government took pos session of the land.
 Gen. Sevier has five great-grand- children in Arkansas. They are E. c. Sevier of Houston, Mrs. Sophia Mosely of Conway, Mrs. P. II. Prince of Conway, s. Q. Sevier of Camden and Eldridge Sevier of Horatio.

 Lines.
poor Farm Contract Let to James King
 Eleven Road Overseers Appointed.

The first days session was devoted to the examination and approval of the regular reports of the road over seers, justices of the peace and constables.
 Township Lines Unchanged.
 The prediction that Judge Lea would at this session divide up Cadron township failed to materai- ize. Petitions were presented ask ing for restoration of old Stone and old Cleveland townships, but the court stated that it would take no action on these petitions before the next April term. The judge ex- poets to make a thorough investi gation of the proposed new town ships with reference to their pro- portion of white and colored popu lation before making any change in township lines.
 Changes in School Districts.
 The court made an order chang ing the boundaries of school dis tricts I and 37 by detaching the east half of section and the north east quarter of section 7, township north, range B west, from dis trict I and annexing same to dis trict 37.
 A petition was presented asking the formation of new district out of the territory of district 2S, above Hardin bridge on the east Cadron. The court continued the petition until the April term and stated that at that time the prayer would be granted.
 Joseph Haas made application for the opening of private road from his farm to the public road. The court appointed viewers to in spect the proposed road.
 Poor Farm Contract.
