TT IS HELD THAT E. RITTER CAN NOT RECOVER THE PURCHASE
 PRICE FROM LEVEE BOARD.
SUPREME COURT so DECIDES
Court Also Decided That Prosecuting Attorneys Cannot Collect Fees From State In Felony Cases Which Are
 Not Finally Disposed Of.
Little Rock


 The Supreme Court had hearing of the celebrated Sunk Land cases, when an opinion was handed down that persons who purchased the lands from the St. Francis Levee District had no title to the property. B. Rit- ter of Craighead county asked judg- ment for S35,187 or title to the lands. The Supreme Court held that Kit ter took a chance" when he purchas- cd the lands, and that he had no grounds on which to recover. After thousands of acres of the sunk lands in the St. Francis Basin had been sold the federal government declared It retained title to the lands, and that the St. Francis Levee District could not dispose of them. Sales which had been made by the district were con summated with the understanding that the district under former ruling of the federal government owned the ands.
 The court also decided that prose- eating attorneys cannot collect fees from the state in felony cases which are not finally disposed of. M. P. Huddleston of Paragould filed suit to collect fees in cases which had been continued by the trial judge at Jones' boro. The Supreme Court held that no fees could be paid until the cases were finally decided.
