State Supreme Court Reverses Silver Bow Case In Cobban v Hinds
The Montana Supreme Court reversed the Silver Bow district court in W F Cobban versus Tom Hinds county treasurer. It held no equitable remedy by injunction was warranted to stop the sale of certain lots for taxes and that the remedy at law provides redress. The court also denied a writ of certiorari to review Judge Lindsay’s habeas corpus action releasing Mrs Barnhill of Anaconda. It affirmed against Penwell the lower court ruling that Lewis Poswell deputy attorney be paid $150 monthly, not $125, and held county commissioners of first and second class counties may set deputy salaries.
