LINCOLN, oct 2s.-(Special) AT the next
sitting OF the supreme court a number OF
important decisions are expected to be
handed down. The most important case
among the number now pending in the
court is the BARLEY bond case which is up
now for the fifth time. This case will prob
ably be decided at the next sitting of the
court. as IL has been in the hands of the
judges for about seven months and the at
torneys have been expecting a decision for
some time.
This decision is expected to be final in
this case. as Attorney General Brown. who
as deputy attorney general argued Il be-
fore the court insisted that the decision be
final one. so that It would not have to
come back to the court a sixth time. When
the case was decided against the state by
the district court OF Douglas county, the
matter came very near being dropped then,
but Governor Mickey insisted that II be APP
pealed and he even went to the trouble of
ordering a transcript of the proceedings.
The matter was then turned over to Deputy
Attorney General Brown by Attorney Cen
eral Prout and Mr.. Brown has looked after
the last case.
The validity of the Douglas county pri-
| mary election law may also be decided at
this meeting of the court The election cases
were all filed at the last minute two weeks
ago and the court had not the time in which
TO decide upon all of them, so the primary
act was one that was left over for another
| sitting. However no one is capable Of
telling what decisions will be rendered. as
the judges have been Known to change their
minds at the last minute and q straight
hunch from the bench is little more than a
guess.
