In the suit of G. W. Hunsaker vs
G. L. Brown, county treasurer of Ma
rion county, and Pugb & Gray, part
ners, a demurrer was tiled to the sepa
rate answer of defendant Brown, be
fore Judge Henitt this afternoon at
1 o'clock. Messrs. Charlton & Cook
and Wm. II. Holmes appeared for
plaintiff, and demurrer on ground
that the matter In the answer does
not constitute a defence or answer to
the complaint.
Pugb & Gray, by Carson fc Ftem
nig, thelrjittorneys, filed a demurrer
tlhyinir tli.it Hunsaker had not legal
opacity to sue and tbat facts did
tot constitute a cause for suit.
Mr. Carson argued tbat a private
;ltlzen, as a mere taxpayer bad no
rlg'it to bring the suit. This was
titled In he supreme court decision
In the Eje".lern Orcgjn case. He cited
the cases of Sherman vs. Bellows, and
tale nu relation of Taylor vs. Lord
tod others. Only the district
itlorncy can bring this suit
s tue decision in that case. Court had
ilso held thus In the recent Salem
-chool mandamus case. If all that
vas alleged was true there would be
ncreaed taxation, but all taxpayers
Aould sulfer alike. A suit could only
k brought at the Instance of the
.jarty injured, and that was the whole
.ountv.
Mr. Charlton cited 29th Or., State
vs Pennoyer, opinion of Wolverton,
that an Indlvleual taxpayer whose
burdens were Increased by unlawful
icls of public officials bad right to
edres by an Injunction suit.
Harmon vs. Woodruff, 10th Or.
Mr. nolmes received the precedents
cited. He had participated In those
cases In this court and before the su
preme court.
In the asylum cae it was claimed
nd evidence shown that taxes would
not be Increased by building In Union
county. Hence Taylor had no cau-e
forartion. It Is admitted that Hun
saker's taxes will be Increased but
Lhat he has no right to redress. The
right or a I axpayer to prevent wrong
ful use of public funds by Injunction
had ne.cr been overthrown by any de
cision In Oregon. Other states were
unanimous In their decisions.
Here counsel entered into a collo
quy Involving the "res gestal" of tho
whole suit. For a few moments the
meat of'thc question dangled before
the court, but the Judge withheld
comment.
A!r. Cnion renewed his contention
that Hui-ukcr must show special
Injury, and the complaint must al
lege fraud In the manner In which
funds were expended.
Judge Hewitt said the Oregon Su
preme court decisions had tried to
distinguish between the enforcement
of a public duty anrl the prevention of
a private wrong. A taxpayer could
irjt proceed by Inu.ictlon to enforce
tho former, but as to the latter, he
would take time to carefully consider
all tho cases cited,
Mr. Holmes then argued the
demurrer to Treasurer Brown's
answer to the second amended
complaint which has been
published as prepared by Sherman,
Condlt and Park. This answer cites
facts and alleges what Is charged in
the complaint that the county Judge
as an Individual had exorcised wrong
ful authority. Counsel argued that
the warrants Issued in vacation were
cleat ly Illegal They did not, assail
the action of thecouitin making the
original contract, but called In ques
ticn tho iiium.er In which warrants
were Issued
The commissioners court had only
ratified the contract to the amount of
SlOOO.If that warr uit was Issued then
other warrants weie still out and do
fendunts still full short
Mr.Sherman in reply said hlscllcnt,
Treasurer Brown did not wish him to
defend either side In this suit. lie
only desired that nil tho facts in tlie
caso be brought fully before
tho court and that his
rights and those of his bondsmen bo
not assailed by tho wrongful acts ur
negligence, If any, of other parties.
The clerk has been directed, .liether
lawfully or not, to Issuo tuo warrants.
Tho treasurer would abide hy tho de
cision of thejeoutt nndwould bo gov
erned thereby.
Leave was granted to amend de
ruurror and there will be farther hear
ing, Thursday.

THE CITY ELECTION.
The Opposition Place a Complete Ticket
In the Held. '
There is verr little excitement over
the mining city election. There will i
be spirited contents In every ward at
the Republican primaries Saturday
afternoon, the call for which is
printed for the information of our
city readers.
It Is impossible to forecast the re
sult of the Republican primaries. In
dications are there will not be as
large a rote put as usual There Is
no material change of sentiment In
the first ward. M. W. nunt's friends
claim he represents no faction. Lot
Pcarce and F. B. Southwfck both
liaTe strong followings. Geo. G. Bing
ham, the Republican city chairman,
formerly represented the first ward
and understands "politics" there if
anyone does.
THE OPPOSITION
bare called a meeting of all their city
and ward committee men this even
ing. A committee of three from each
ward have canvassed the situation
and the preferences and wishes of
voters are ascertained. A straight
ticket will be plared in the field for
treasurer and for alderman in each
ward. They-will makeastralghtcon
test against the Republican tlcketand
it looks now as though there would be
only two tickets in the field. The
complete oppcittlon ticket will be
made public, Thursday.
