 An Action.

Word has been received in Juneau that the Court for the first time has reversed Judge R. W. Jennings. It decided for Victor Von Ark in the case of Von Arx against the City of Douglas and it's officers in the appeal taken for him from Judge Jennings decision.

More than a score ot cases have been taken to the higher courts from here, and in every in stance the higher court has held with Judge Jennings until this case.
