RIGHTS Clubs And Churches Held By Owner Of Surface Of Big Tract, In Corner Of Which He Had Two Wells FRANKFORT, March 23. (AP) -The Court of Appeals ruled today that the owner of the surface of a 56-acre tract had acquired possession of the oil rights under all the land through operation of two oil wells the required legal period in one corner of the acreage. The Appellate Court held that E.

C. Ware had got possession to the oil rights in the Johnson County tract because oil had been extracted for more than 15 years without challenge by anyone. The statute of limitations requires any such challenging suit be filed within 15 years. It was the first time the question had been ruled on by Kentucky's highest court, which concluded: "The operation of the two oil wells for the statutory period cut off the right of anyone else to drill for or extract oil in this 56-acre tract." Judge Porter Sims dissented, saying in his opinion there could be no possession of the oil until it was brought to the surface, He said he thought such "adverse possession" was limited to oil produced; that once established, such possession lasted as long as the well or wells continued to produce. John T.

Diederich had sought a declaration of rights for himself and others to royalties from the two producing wells. Johnson Circuit Court held that Ware "had acquired title to the oil by adverse possession through two wells which were sunk on the property by the surface owners in 1924 and which had been in open continuous operation ever since." Diederic based his claim on an 1859 deed which severed the oil rights from the surface rights. The Appellate Court said Diederich's predecessor in title, the Gray-Mellon Oil had noticed as early as 1925 that oil was being taken from the tract mentioned in its mineral deed. The court said this notice, plus the open, continuous operation of the wells, was "sufficient to cause (the statute of) limitation to run against the mineral owners claiming, any interest in the oil" 1859 deed.

Widow Dead At 103; Danced With Rebels, When Lexington Girl One hundred and three year old Anna Conway, born in the era of the California gold craze, and destined to dance later with Confederate troops at Lexington, died yesterday at Drake Memorial Hospital.

Mrs. Conway, a patient at the hospital for more than six months, died as a result of a hip fracture suffered last Friday when she fell from a stool. She had been under treatment for a spine ailment. Prior to entering Drake, Mrs. Conway had been a patient at Good Samaritan Hospital for six weeks.

Born in Millersburg, Christmas Eve, 1852, Mrs. Conway danced schottisches with Confederate married neighbor, John Conway; was a widow before 1890, and later became one of Lexington's finest seamstresses. The fragile but phenomenal little woman attributed her long life to a "frame of mind" rather than to physical care. "I'm always quiet," she would say, old newspaper accounts reminded. Mrs.

Conway, who lived through a period of five American wars, 15 depressions and 21 United States Presidents, used to recount her memories of the Civil War for friends. "I saw the Blue and the Gray gather (at Lexington) and march away, bunch to the North and thee other to the South," she once said. She recalled seeing Lincoln once. The aged woman, who joined a health insurance plan when she was 98, and baby-sat for great-grandchildren even later, lived with her son, Thomas Conway, 4138 Homelawn Cheviot, before becoming ill. She had been a resident of Bond Hill for 27 years until about three years ago.

Her most outstanding characteristic was her determination. Up until yesterday, the day she died, she refused to eat unless allowed to sit up. HAL and recently was re-elected to the board. Mr. Metzger attended the parochial schools and St.

Can't Go Back! Mayor Alfred G.

Maybury of Newport yesterday said he opposed the plan of Commissioner Fa-gis Cole to reimpose tolls on Kentucky's two state-owned bridges from Newport to Cincinnati. Commissioner Cole said he favored placing tolls on the bridges for three months if it was legal because the city was in dire need of additional revenue. Some lawyers say the proposed program is unconstitutioral. "Such action would be going back 100 years and would wreck the years of work to free roads and bridges of tolls," Mayor Maybury said.
