WINS DECISION
In a decision handed down Tues
day by Circuit Judge A. L. Leavltt of
Klamath county. In tho suit of the
Sterling Mining company against
Jackson county and J. C. Cass, a clear
cut legal victory Is won by the mining
company. The action was based on a
tax title. , . ;.

perty of the plaintiff on delinquent
taxes for 1916, and in a foreclosure
sale sold same to J. C. Cass. The
mining company protested this action
and the court ruled that the assess

personal property two giant pumps
and a water right from the Apple
gate river: that the assessment is

and sale wore without legal basis.
-r The decree orders that the deed
Issued by tho county to Cass be-sot
aside; that all clouds to the property
be removed, and that Jackson county
and Cass pay the coste of the suit.
