R. A. Hutchinson, Through His Attor-
ney, Gives Notice That Bond Deal
Will Be Fought to the Last Ditch.

r. A. Hutchinson has served notice
of appeal in his case against the
county commissioners to prevent
them from purchasing a site and issu-
ing $4,000 bonds with which to build
the new armory. Judge KEENAN, this
morning rendered his decision in the
case in favor of the defendants.
The court ordered that a simple no.
tice of dismissal be made by the
prosecuting attorney instead of in
sorting the findings as was requested
by Mr.. Laughon.
When Judge Kellam, r. A. Hutch
inson's attorney, gave notice of APP
peal he stated that as soon as the
preparation of the papers was COM
pleted he would file the appeal and
necessary bonds to cover the case.
In speaking of the case, Judge kel-
lam stated that he was in favor of
taking it to the supreme court if for
no other reason than to test the case.
He has not been able to find one just
like it in all the records.
I'VE are not satisfied with the out
come in the lower court and the fight
is not the only one in which we are
interested" said Mr.. Kellam. Every
taxpayer, resident and business man
is DESTROYS of seeing the case go to a
finish.

1.-THE building of the Spokane & In

to which she is entitled" said d. c.
Corbin today.
II do not mean to say that Spokane
will secure terminal rates, but she
will secure, by the construction Of
this railroad, the rates to which she
is entitled and which will insure her
permanency as a trading and distrib-
uting point for large area"
Mr.. Corbin was asked the direct
question whether he would assure the
citizens Of Spokane through The
Press that they would secure better
freight rates after the building of his
propose road than they now get
from the lines running into the city.
His answer to that question is given
above.
There can be no question:" said
Mr.. Corbin, that the construction of
this line will benefit Spokane more
than would any other railroad and for
this reason: The road will have a
traffic agreement with the Canadian
Pacific, and will really be part of
the Canadian Pacific system. This
will be a positive assurance that
there will be no merger with COM
peting lines

THAT the proposed amendment will
strengthen the cause OF Mr.. Sumner
as 1t will show an inclination to do
business on boar lines; that he has
an eye to the interest of the whole
community; that the difficulties ex-
perienced in the past by farmers
clubs in gaining communication with
the city makes a clause of this ma
ture OF eminent concern: that men
prominent In business both in city

this nature should be added to the

I'VE want to test the right the peo-
pie have to petition the equity court
in cases of this kind.
The prosecution held that the
fere with the discretion vested i'm the
county and armory boards and that
the state and county gave them the
power to act according to their best
judgment; that it was not right to
question their decisions
Now, If that was true, the board
could select a site in the bed of the
Spokane river or upon the top of the
Zeigler block and the county would
agree to pay for it.
Has a taxpayer any right to inter-
fere in what is deemed an exorbitant
price for property that was offered
for much less than the amount to be
paid for it-and go in debt for 1t
at that?
IF the supreme court decides in
our favor, the bonds will be illegal.
The point of Importance is whether
the county has reached it's limitation

as county assets. That is a point 1
