18-111. Cherokee.
The county of Cherokee is bounded as follows: Commencing at the
southeast corner of the county of Crawford; thence west with the south line
of said Crawford county, to the southwest corner of section fourteen, in
township thirty-one south, of range twenty-one, east of the sixth principal
meridian; thence south on the section line, to the Neosho river; thence
with the channel of said river, to the south boundary line of the state of
Kansas; thence east on said boundary line, to the southeast corner of the
state; thence north with the east line of the state of Kansas, to the place
of beginning: Provided, That at the next general election, the legal
voters on the strip between the west line of Cherokee county as above
defined, and the west line of Cherokee neutral land, shall decide by ballot
for or against being attached to Cherokee county; and the ballot so cast
shall be returned and canvassed as other election returns, and the result
certified to the governor, who shall issue his proclamation in accordance
therewith. If a majority of the votes cast shall be in favor of being
attached to Cherokee county, the west line of said county shall remain as
above defined; but if a majority be against being attached to Cherokee
county, then the line between said Cherokee county and the county of
Labette shall be the west line of the Cherokee neutral lands -- anything in
this act to the contrary notwithstanding.
