Squabble Over Leases Returns to Topeka High Court
In Topeka Kansas on April 17 a $10,000,000 oil property dispute in the Rainbow Bend field of Cowley county rose to appeal from the Cowley County district court. Lizzie B Cushenberry trustee for lease holders including F Dumont Smith Hutchinson attorney challenges Waite Phillips Company over drilling on accretions to river bed land. The case centers on whether original leases cover accretions as the Arkansas River shifts. The lower court ruled for the defendants amid broader fights over river bed oil rights and a proposed bill to compensate landowners from new land created by shifting river courses, which died in the Senate.
