1Opinion of the Court

GrieeiN Smith, Chief Justice.

Effect of a former opinion was to say that a deed from James M. Bur gin created a determinable fee. Coffelt v. Decatur School District No. 17, 212 Ark. 743, 208 S. W. 2d 1. Remand was with direction that the School District’s demurrer be overruled. Trial resulted in a finding that the District had not abandoned, and Coffelt has appealed. Because of our holding in the opinion of January 26, 1948, that the deed was not absolute, the only issue here is whether the Court correctly found that the District had not abandoned.
