preme court today the Judgment of the lower
court was reversed in the case of Emigh VS.. the
State Insurance Company, appealed IRON Kick
itat. In an opinion by Judge Hoyt it is he'd
that the notice of settlement of bills OF excep-
ton must be given, and as such notice was not
given in this case, the bill was stricken out. The
only question left in the case related to the de-
murrer to the complaint, which the superior
court overruled. The supreme court decides
that the demurrer should have been sustained,
because the complaint did not set up proof OF
loss, ownership or value. Judge Dunbar dis
sents from the opinion that the demurrer should
have been sustained.
The school tax case of Seattle VS.. King county
commissioners, the Tacoma city printing case,
and motion TO affirm the Judgment in the case
