tnrl.tr rev... . . I . . , i . .
Valiums in tne suit are
m. s. Robinson and Christian Hell
berg, directors of school district 67
and the defendant Is A. L. Demarla.
The complaint states that the plant
in dispute was deeded to the Bchool
16 years ago by Hellberg. Later Hell
berg sold property adjoining the
school premises to De marls, and it is
alleged that by a mistake of the
scrivener who drew up the deed that
tne school land was Included.
a scnooi nouse was built on the
property in dispute 15 years ago, and
scnooi nas been maintanled there
every year since. It Is allea-ed that
after Demarls claimed possession of
tne property that he took down a
fence and erected one of his own,
inclosing the premises with the rest
or his land. In October the Dlantlffa
flaming to be acting as agents for the
scnooi J district removed Demarls'
lence ana built another. This led to
a suit for damages being instituted
In the Justice court by Demarls
against Robinson and Hellberg. And
now tna defendants In the justice's
court action have brought the matter
before the equity court to determine
who was the rightful owner of the
school property when they removed
the fenoe.
The property in dispute is on the
south fork of the Walla Walla river,
above Milton.
