STTLLWATER Aug 12.--For
more than thirty-three years 9.1g
acres Of valuable farm land located
four miles northeast Of saltwater.
just off the state road. has remained
unclaimed. 1t was opened TO entry
OF April 22, 1889, as part OF the
original oklahoma territory
1t is claimed now. however, by
Charles Gudgel, an employe OF the
saltwater light and water depart
ment. But he didn't file on II until
Saturday, August 3. 1922.
In checking over Payne county
lands, Hays Hamilton, a saltwater
abstractor, discovered the unified
tract. which Is designated as lot no
II, 81 -20n-3e, In Glencoe township.
II is Just south of the !Ino which
separates the old Cherokee and
Greek surveys.
Hamilton told Gudgel about the
discovery and Gudsel went to the
United States land office in Guthrie
to file claim. J B. Campbell, regis
ter at first laughed at Gudgels as
sertion that there was unified land
In Payne county, but careful
checking of records confirmed the
claim.
The land has sale value OF about
$50 an acre, for agricultural pur-
poses, over and above oil pOssihili-
ties, 1t is said.
Records show that the land bor-
dering the g.l9-acre tract was orig
inaliy homesteaded by w. T. Boyd
and was sold and re-sold until 1t
became the property Of Ira n. Bum
ney on January 80, 1922. Probably
all Of the succeeding owners thought
the tract belonged to them. Bum
ney did.
The abstractor's theory, to ac-
count for the oversight, is that, theo-
retically and usually four lots to
the running mile in each section Is
the customary plating; that, in this
instance, one of the four lots was
subdivided, creating lot No. IL; and
that the supposed owners neglected
TO consult the actual survey, there
by overlooking lot No. II which had
been designated in that tract sup
posed 10 have been a part OF lot No.

One other similar case was found
In Payne county in the correspond
ing section six miles west. That
tract was filed on by Levi A. Ecker
son, whose patent was Issued on May
p, 1897.
