Heading: McLennan litigation in King county.

Text: M.C. McLennan commenced an action in King county in August, 1941 (antedating the Whatcom county suit, A, supra ), attacking the validity of the lease from the New Light Gold Mining Company to appellant but asking judgment for taxes she had paid on the property covered by that lease and for royalties on the minerals removed. A writ of garnishment was issued, directed to the Tacoma Smelter and Refining Company. Mr. Funkhouser went to Tacoma in connection with the garnishment referred to. This case was never tried and was dismissed in November, 1944, for want of prosecution. On dismissal, Funkhouser and Twohy received $130.54 from the King county clerk, being the amount paid in to court by the garnishee defendant, less its costs.
