on its franchise, and the bank paid the

repealed. and that banks were liable for
taxation for county purposes.
The Court says:
1t Is not necessary to consider the
contentious of counsel for appellant
and appellee. for the reason that since
the institution of this suit the Supreme
Court of the United States has decided
that appellee was not subject to such
county taxation. and. inasmuch as the
taxes in controversy were collected
without authority of law. and having
been paid back to the appellee by APP
pellant no recovery can be had in this
case. 1t is doubtless true that neither
party recognized or believed at the time
that appellee was exempt, under the
laws OF the United States, and that
question has not been argued by coun-
sci Yet this court should take judicial
notice of the law as declared by the
Supreme Court of the nation in this
class of cases. and. inasmuch as the
taxes were collected without authority
of law, and have been. in fact, returned

sassin of Gov. Goebel. They were de.
tached from local service and spent
weeks on the case. The other detec.
tives claimed that they received much

that they should contribute all the
