-Jno. w. Mathews was victor in
the case brought against him by the
city of Pullman, and heard before
Judge Sullivan, sitting for Judge
Chadwick, at Colfax, last Monday.
This case was brought by the city,
which alleged that Mathews had fenced
in some nine feet of the alley back of
his lot, and refused to vacate the
same. Mathews contended that the
fence was built on the original survey
line, and had an array of witnesses to
testify to the fact that the fence was
in line with the survey stakes. and
that none of the alley was over the
fence. Thos. Neill was attorney for
Mr.. Mathews. The case has cost the
citizens of Pullman some $3.50, but as
it afforded our city attorney an oppor-
tunity to gain little more experience
and to learn some law. the money can
not be said to have been spent in vain.
