In Federal Court for the Western Judge Frank A. Youmans upheld the Arkansas state statutes which forbids counties to pay interest on judgments against them.
 The issue was raised by plaintiffs petition for mandamus against Se- bastian county, the county sheriff and county treasurer to compel them to pay interest for 23 years on an old judgment of $13,700 on county scrip. Title of suit was Missouri and Arkan- sas Lumber and Mining Company vs. Sebastian county. Judgment was first obtained in 1891. For two years the county paid the interest upon the judgment.
 The 1893 State Legislature passed an act forbidding counties to make interest payments on such claims. From year to year the county made partial payments The final one was made in 1913, payments covering in- terest to date of statute and total prin- cipal Upon final payment plaintiff refused to release judgment, and later filed suit to collect 23 years interest, holding state law illegal and void.
 Petition for writ was filed by plain tiff some time ago and heard in fed eral court upon record evidence and an agreed state of facts. At conclu- sion of argument by counsel in the case, the court held the state law valid, ruled the debt cancelled, or dered plaintiff to release judgment and pay all costs. Defendant served notice of appeal to the United States Supreme Court, which was granted and defendant given SO days to perfect appeal
