A decision of extraordinary Interest
to the owners of land adjoining the
Missouri river is that handed down by
the supreme court Saturday In the
case of William Klnkead against C.W.
Turgeon and others in which a former
opinion of the court, written by Judge
Oldham Is vacated and new law In the
matter of accreted lands Is given In
Nebraska. The court holds that where
the Missouri river changes Its course
and abandons its former bed, the re
spective riprarlan owners arc entitled
to the possession and ownership of the
soil formerly under the waters as far
as the thread of the river, and may
maintain ejectment proceedings to
oust squatters within such limits.
Thcoplniou was written by Judge
Letton upon a rehearing which was
granted because of the questions of
great public importance Involved and
because the former opinion was writ
tea without an oral argument before
the commission. The court cleaves to
the old common law of England on the
subject of riprarlan ownership, hold
ing that such doctrine is not contrary
to the laws and constitution of the
state and nation. The opinions of the
supreme court of the United States
have held that the ownership of land
in the former bed of navigable streams
shall he at the disposal of the inter
ested states.
The question of ownership of a&
cretcd laud was presented to the court
(or the tlrst time in thlscase, although
other cases have presented It Incident
ally, but its determination was not
necessary to the disposition of the
cases.
The court defines the common law
of riprarlan ownership as giving the
owner of land adjoining a navigable
stream, title to the center of the
stream. It Is stated that the riprarlan
owners have, uniformly taken posses
slon of the accreted lands and have
been permitted to gain title to it.
That the common law rule of giving
ownership to the thread of the stream
is proper and for the general welfare
of Ncbraskan Is arllrmed by the court.
The court says: "To hold otherwise
Incase of a stream of the characteris
tics of the Missouri river might well
lead by way of repeated changes o
the river's channel, to additions to
the public domain at the expense of
adjoining proprietors. For example
in this case, If we should hold that
the bed of the abandoned stream be
longed to the stale of Nebraska, by
the same reasoning the bed of the
new channel belongs to the state, and
If the river should again change Its
channel near by, by another avulsion
thus leavlog the new bed dry, the
state would then be the owner of the
land In the two abandoned river beds
and the new channel. The property
In the first and second beds would be
wrested without compensation from
the property of private Individuals.
