Walton v. Unified School District

The opinion of the court was delivered by This is a dispute over title to an acre of land formerly the
site of a rural schoolhouse. The contest is between the successor
school district and the grantees of the heirs of the owner of the
land out of which the acre tract was initially carved. The facts in the case, so far as they are known, are not in
substantial dispute. In 1903 George Chandler owned and was in
possession of a 15.61 acre tract in Riley county. On July 10,
1903, Rocky Ford School District No. 70 voted to locate a new
school building on the Chandler tract. According to the
district's records $150.00 was paid to Chandler in August, 1903,
for a "school house site." The district took possession of the
one acre tract in question
