Judge Grimes Sustains Demurrer Tho tax case of the Union Pacific against the county was decided in tho district court yesterday when Judgo Grimes sustained the demurrer to tho (Petition by tho Union Paclllc in an appeal from tho ruling of tho county commissioners. On the contention that tho valuation on property In. Lincoln county, other than that owned by tho Union Pacific was assessed too low, or too low as compared with the valuation placed on tho company proporty, the Union Pacific sought to have tho valuation raised by tho county commissioners, which the board refused to do. An ap peal was. then taken to the district court and by the Judgo's decision tho action of the commissioners is sus tained. The company attempted to show that tho valuation placed on land was much below Its selling value, or tho valuo at which it had been sold, and that as a result the company was paying an un just proportion of tho tax. In reply the county, through Attorney Glbbs, cited cases where, In the convoyancs of land, the deed price was several times the actual consideration paid, this in flation of price being made for effect. The decision in tho lower court Is i quite a victory for the county and for" County Attorney Glbbs, even though an appeal may be taken to the supremo court.
