Churchill v. Anderson
Opinion of the Court
It appears from the findings that when this action was commenced the land in controversy [lieu land] had not been listed over by the United States to this State; and it has been frequently decided by this Court that the State acquires no title which it can convey to a purchaser until the land has been listed over. It follows that when the action was commenced the plaintiff had no title.
Judgment reversed, and cause remanded for a new trial.
