Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena, Oct. 26.-The supreme court
to-day in per curiam, dismissed the
appeal recently taken by Cyril Pau

Lindsay OF Butte directing that the
executor lease for two years certain
mining property in Butte to S. NJ. Me
Sherry ana d. j. Ryan. McSherry and
Ryan filed a motion to dismiss the an
peal, and the court granted it on the
ground that the code of civil procedure
did not make appealable an order of
the district court directing the lease of
property belonging to an estate, Sec
ton ll22 of the civil code of procedure
provides for appeals against or in IA
Nor of directing the partition, sale or
conveyance of real property" The eff
feet of the decision is that the lease in
question is not a conveyance in the
sense conveyed in the codes. The de-
clsion is of some interest to lawyers.
