Tho Jury ln tho case of tho Cooa Day Times vn. Coos County, brought In a 'verdict In favor ot tho county Into Saturday night. Tho caso, It was announced, will bo lmmodlntoly ap pealed to tho Oregon Supremo court. In tho trlnl In circuit court, Judgo Sklpworth'B ruling confined tho ovl donco simply to tho question of iwhethor or not thoro was a doflnltq Contract for a rato or thrco or flvo cents por lino and did not pormlt ovldonco as to whether flvo coots per lino was a reasonable charga. Judgo Watson, County Commis sioners Domcnt and Armstrong tes tified that thoy had mado a ruling Irst January that only thrco conts por lino wns to bo paid for publish ing tho delinquent tux list. County Clork Wntson nnd Doputy County Clerk Osmundsou tcstlflod similarly. Thoy admitted that The Times had protested this ruling und had noti fied thorn that tho list would not bo published for less than flvo conts por lino and that thoro had been Humorous 'hearings on It. Further more thoy admitted that tho final entry -ot tho County Court's decreo that threo cents was all that would bo paid was not mado under Decem ber 4, soveral months aftor tho Hat had boon published. Tiines' Claim Proven It wns shown that aftor 'x'no Times refused to accept tho busi ness for loss than flvo cents per lino, jtho list was sent to Tlio Times und published with tho understanding that fivo cents por lino was to bo paid for It, Sheriff Johnson test!- f tied that when tho fltst delinquent taxes were paid ln, ho had charged tho delinquents at tho rato of flvo 'cents por lino. Furthermore after Tho Times' bill was presented to the county court and tho allowanco cut .rrom flvo to threo cents por .lino, it was shown that Tho Times had refused to ac cept tho reduced rato. Employes on Jury Ono or tho peculiar things ln the trial or tho case was that soveral county roadmastors, employes of tho (county court which wns contesting the bill, were Included in the venire for tho Jury. Threo of these woro 'rejected ,by the threo preomptory challenges permitted but others had to bo accepted. In rejecting theso, !Q R. Pock, attornoy for Tho Times, held that employes of the county court could not pass unbiased Judg ment but despite this thrco road mastors were allowed to sit on tho Jury. - Many Aro Interested Tho case Involves the question ot tho right of the county court to fix a rate, regardless of the reasonable ness of It, for county printing and consequently Involves every county in the stato. It will be carried to the Supreme Court on that point and en early ruling is expectod. Want to Ascertain Just What It is Accomplishing in .
