District Prosecuting Attorney
James Nc Claim makes very good
impression on all who hear him try
cases for the state. He is expedi-
tious in handling cases and seems
to have a faculty of getting right at
the root of a matter when handling
witness.
SUIT AGAINST CITY.
This morning Judge Burnett sus-
tanned the demurrer to the complaint
in the action of EastoD, ct al, vs.
Salem, upon the gronnd that it did
not appear whether the damage
complained of was done upon the
street or upon plaintiffs property.
This point was not raised by the
council on either side and is only
matter of form. The Judge decided
that plaintiffs haye cause of action
against the city for depositing earth
and rock upon their land and leave
was given to file an amended COM
plant, which was done this FORE
noon.
In this state any sheriff is
liable to suit for wrongful at
tachment of property. This is
the contest in Cook vs CrOi-
san and as al offset witness were
brought to impeach Cook. They
swore about alike against him.
Jury found for defendant.
