Decision Satisfies Neither Party.

SIOUX CITY, June ESPECIAL Telegram.)
Judge Shiras of the federal court has
handed down decision in the famous Lyon
county bond case. He holds the issue of
100000 of bonds in 1879 to be in contraven-
tion of the constitution and void at law.
The second issue of the amount of $120 ,000
In 1885, which was repudiated on the ground
that the county exceeded it's constitutional
limit of indebtedness, the court holds to
be good, inasmuch as the first issue being
void the county was free from debt at tie
time of the subsequent issue. Both sides
will appeal.
