STATE SUPREME COURT.
Two Important King County Cases De-
cided by Reversal OF Judgment.

cided by Reversal OF Judgment.
OLYMPIA, Dec. 1S.-(Special. 1.-The supreme
court today reversed the decision in the case of
Lucy A. Ryan, respondent, VS.. David Ferguson,
appellant, from King county. This was an
ejsctment action involving the title to four Sc
attle lots. In the administration of the estate
OF the plaintiffs husband in 1880 the property in
question was sold to satisfy a community
mortgage debt The position taken by plaintiff
was that only the husbands interest was ad-
ministered upon and that her half was in no
wise affected by the probate proceedings. This
was the view taken by the lower court, judg-
ment of which was in the plaintiffs favor for an
undivided one-half of the property. But the
supreme court takes different view. The opin-
ion says:
After careful consideration of the question
and from the interminabe confusion that would
otherwise result, we are forced TO the conclusion
that upon the death of one member of the com
muulty ii is the community estate which is to
be administered upon for the purpose of settling
the claims against the community.
Judge Dunbar files dissenting opinion in
which he says that the opinion of the majority
seems TO him to be a more forcible argument of
what the law ought TO be than what il really is.
Judgment in the King county case of Mckay,
respondent. vs. Russell & Russell, appellants,
was reversed. Mckay claimed that the defend
ants induced him by Misrepresentation to buy
lots in the town OF Ballard and sued TO recover
SIC, 900 paid on such lots. He obtained judgment
III the lower court Tho reverse is ordered be-
cause the testimony of one Stears, who claimed
that be also had been defrauded, was admitted
at the trial
The court denied the writ of prohibition
prayed for by Trumbull d Plunmer, Port
Townsend attorneys, forbidding Judge Sachs
from taking threatened action to deprive petit
tiopers OF Il lien on a judgment in the divorce
suit OF Andrews vs.. Andrews. The court holds
that money derived from a sale OF real estate
under n Judgment in divorce case may be dis
posed OF as the superior court may think Just,
under all the circumstances. us such suits stand
on a different basis than Others, all the property
of the parties 10 the proceeding being in posses
sion of the court for disposal according to its
Judgment. Judge Dunbar dissents
