(From Friday's Dally.) Itcmovlng all doubt cast by quo warranto proceedings broughl In tho name of Ous E. Stadlg, of Lower Ilrldge, as to the right of Dcschntet county to transact business as a mu nicipal corporation, Circuit Judgo T. K. J. Duffy lato yesterday afternoon handed down an opinion favoring, this county in the two remaining dis puted points In the case. Judgo Duf fy's opinion recognizes tho legisla tive act creating Deschutes county and holds that a number of tho ques tions raised by N. O. Wallace, ot Prlncvllle, counsel for tbo antl-dlvis-lonlsts, could have been adjudicated In tho previous case of McKay versus County Clerk Brown. Caso Pending Year. The caso has been pending almost a year, suit being filed on December 20, 191C, only olght days after judg ment had been secured on thu McKay-Drown case. An earlier decision, was prevented by a series ot motions and' demurrers, which delayed actios. Al tho time tho matter first camo up Ihrco attorneys, Wlllard Wlrtz, M. II.

Final arguments on tho two prin cipal points left undecided wero heard last week in Prinevlllo by Judgo Duffy, counsel maintaining that tho legislative act passed by the legislature at Its last session validat ing Deschutes county bars and estops any ono from questioning tho valid ity of Its organization. Tho other point was that tho case ot McKay vorsus Drown, on which judgment was rendered Decombor 12, 191C, bars and estops the plaintiffs from, maintaining any action at tills time, tho claim being mado that all ques tions In this case could havo been litigated in tho previous ono.
