Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit June 2, 1909, No. 2,980 (Kansas v. Meriwether)

ADAMS, Circuit Judge.

This cause presents the question whether Hunter M. Meriwether or the state of Kansas is entitled to certain money resulting from the condemnation for public use of a certain tract of land in Wyandotte county, Kan., by a railroad company. Whether the one or the other is entitled to it depends upon which of them was the owner of the land at the time of the condemnation.
