ARKANSAS LAW GOV
ERNS OLD LAND CONTRACTS.

Judge Stillwell H. Russell of Ard
more rendered decision Friday in
which he holds that contracts made
under the Arkansas statutes before
statehood, are governed by he Arkan-
sas law. The facts leading are these:
Suit was filed by two Indians against
Eddelman & Graham of Marietta for
possession of land near Ardmore. Ed
dleman & Graham bought the land
from what was presumed to be sole
heir, the husband of a deceased wife
Suit was filed nine years after the
purchase. Plaintiffs claimed to be ne1-
hews of the deceased and set mp claim
to a portion of the land The statutes
of Arkansas under which Indian Ter
ritcry was paced beforr statehood
provides that seven years OF peacable
possession of land prohibits the estaD-
lishment of valid claim against it,
The Oklahoma statutes provide fiji
teen years of time instead of seven.
This contract was made when the
country was governed by the Arkansas
law and Judge Russell held that the
constitution of this state prohibits tho
disturbance of any rights that existed
at the time of the adoption of he fun
damental law, and that Eddleman a.
Graham were entitled to have their
suit tried under the Arkansas statutes
and awarded he land in controversy.
The decision is important for the rea-
son that it will keep down many
claims. and will prohibit shysters
from disturbing the people in the
rights to their property

discontinue his service, but that such
