City Wins Out.

Col. E. II. Fox has received officia
notice of the decision of the state su.
preme court in the case of the North.
western Lumber company vs.. City of
Aberdeen. The lumber company brought
suit to recover OH certain street improve
ment warrants alleging wrongful diver.
sion of special street improvement funds
to the payment OF warrants issued sub.
sequently to the ones in controversy.
Judgment in the lower court was for the
city. The supreme court holds that the
company cannot recover, as there has
been no showing made that the money
alledged tohave been wrongfully diverted
was sufficient to pay prior warrants or
any portion of the warrants in cotro.
versy.
Upon this theory the decision OF the
lower court was affirmed. Col. Fox was
city attorney at the time the suit was
brought, and interposed a demurrer to
the action upon the grounds alleged
above. His contention was sustained In
the superior court and is now affirmed
by the supreme court. During Col. Fox's
year Of service as city attorney. four ap.
peals were taken in city cases to the
supreme court. OF these he has won
two, lost one, and one is yet undecided.
This is record OF which the Colonel
may we'll be proud.
