Boslatjgh, J.,
dissenting in part.
I concur in the holding that the proceedings in Garden County were void as to Parcel 10 which was located entirely in Deuel County. I do not agree that Cheyenne Pipe Line Company was not a party “bound by the award.”
The petition to condemn furnished no basis upon which the appraisers could make separate awards as to each of the parties interested in Parcel 10. In the event there was no appeal from the award of the appraisers, and the proceedings were otherwise valid, there would be no way in which the award could be divided without further litigation unless the parties to the award were all in agreement.
Where the awards are in fact several, then the authorities cited in the opinion of the court such as the Jackman case are applicable. Where there is in fact a single award to one or more parties it seems to me that each party to the award is a “party bound by the aw;ard.” In the event of an appeal by any party to such an award, the other parties to that award should' be joined in the proceedings in the District Court.
White, C. J.,' and Spencer, J., concur in this dissent.
