wave began today.
Gambling, alwayB illegal but tol
erated while the winter resorts are

the vacationists were leaving.
State Attorney G. A. Worley said
he would start injunction proceed
ings against any gambling house that
disobeyed. All in Dade county com
plied and were darkened last night.
Across the border in Broward county

River Bank Land
Owner Has Title
to Former Bed
Supreme Court Holds Where Stream
Recedes That Adjacent Owner
Acquires Formed Land.
LINCOLN, March 10 (UP) The
Nebraska supreme court today affirm
ed a Dakota county district court
decision filing with the river bank
proprietor the right to certain land
Trom which the river has receded.
The district court left the tit'e
with the plaintiff, Ben Conkcy. Four
defendants who also claimed the
land appealed. The court ruled that
Conkey's ownership of property ad
joining the former river bank en
titled him to ownership of the dry
river bed. The defendants contended
they had obtained title to various
parts of the river bed ly taking
possession.
The supreme court cited a pre
vious Nebraska supreme court de
cision that "where the waters of a
river gradually recede, changing the
channel of the stream and leaving
the laud dry which was theretofore
covered by water, such land belongs
to the riparian proprietor." Tho
court added that title to land by
adverse possession (claiming posses
sion adverse to other claimants) to
be effective "must be proved by ac
tual, open, exclusive, and continuous
ownership for the full statutory
period of ten years." The defend
ants added neither fenced in or lived
on the land they claimed since only
about 1933.
