Johnson wins appeal to Supreme Court in doggett case
The Supreme Court yesterday ruled on an unlawful detainer suit by Jefferson Doggett of Townsend against John Johnson. It upheld the district court’s order paying Johnson 1236.20 for rent but reversed 150.00, stating Doggett must cover that amount. The court also found the receivership requested by Doggett was error. Attorneys Station, Wine and Hoops represented Doggett. Frank Meitice defended Johnson.

Reed Again on State Pay AOL Gouat Speaks
Grant Reed, auditor of the Montana railroad commission and former Broadwater county representative, is back on the state payroll after the Montana Supreme Court ruled he is merely an employee, not a civil officer. Reed was dropped by the state board of examiners following a taxpayer challenge. The court said a public officer must wield delegated sovereign power and be insulated from superiors, a standard Reed doesn’t meet. Reed had joined the legislature in 1925, served this year, then returned as auditor. The court also commented on Glen T. Davis of Wibaux, appointed gasoline division supervisor, once speaker during the last session that funded the gasoline division.
