Tabor and Cunningham Win Case.
A decision was received yesterday
from Judge Munger dismissing the
Union Pacific suit against W- M. Cun
ningham, Ioy B. Tabor, Trustee, and
tho city of North Platto. At the June
term, af court held by Judgo hunger in
thta city, thoro was presented to tho
court tho plea of Roy 11. Tabor, Trus
tco, claiming that tho land in disputo
was not equal in valuo to $2000, which
is tho jurisdictional amount of tho fed
oral courts. Tho plea of V. M. " Cun
ningham asserting that tho railroad
oompany Bhould havo brought a suit in
ejectment instead of an action to quiet
titlo was also presented at this term of
court. Tho opinion received sustains
both of these picas and dismisses the
suit.
This is a signal victory over tho
railroad company, because it choso tho
court and tho lands which it would seek
to regain in a suit which was announced
to bo a test case, and the railroad com
pany was thrown out of tho court be
fore it had fairly gotten started with
tho case.
Tho suit docs not decide tho width of
tho right-of-way but holds that tho caso
was not a proper ono for tho federal
courts. Tho defendant Cunningham
wna ronresented bv attorneys Hoajr
land & Hoagland and tho defendant
Roy B. Tabor by Wm. E. Shuman.
