REAVIS, C. J. Suit for dissolution of partnership and an accounting among the copartners. The findings of the superior court are substantially as follows: That the partnership 1 Rehearing denied September 21, 1902.

was formed by parol agreement about July 1, 1899, for the purpose of logging certain timber standing within 1,000 feet of the Satsop river, Chehalis county; that a portion of the timber was owned under contract of purchase by plaintiffs, and a portion of the land on which some of the timber stood was owned by plaintiff McDougall; that plaintiffs did not transfer or agree to transfer to the partnership any interest in the contract for the purchase of the timber, but only granted to the partnership a permissive right to log such timber and to pay the owners 50 cents per 1,000 feet for all timber so logged; that there was no time limit fixed for such partnership, and no actual agreement as to the length of time such business should be conducted; that under such agreement the partnership built roadways nec essary for logging and cut about 346 logs of about 1,000 feet board measure; that by the terms of the agreement the plaintiffs were to furnish the timber to be logged, and defendant was to furnish the use of his team, and all parties were to contribute their labor in the business; that each was to pay one-third of the expenses, and each should receive one-third of the profits of the business; that the partnership continued business until about the 15th of November, 1900; that defendant at different times collected sums of money belonging to the partnership, for which he failed and refused to account; and that by reason thereof differences arose between the parties, making it necessary to dissolve the partnership and to take an accounting. The defendant claimed damages for the dissolution of the partnership. The court found that no proof of damages had been made. The decree dissolved the partnership and made an accounting. No controversy is made here upon the sums stated in the ac count. The evidence relating to the grounds for dissolution of the partnership has been examined, and, we think, sustained the finding that necessity for a dissolution existed. A general demurrer was interposed to the complaint and overruled. We are satisfied the complaint stated a cause of action. No error of law is perceived in the conclusions of the superior court, and the judgment is affirmed.

COOPER v. STATE BOARD OF LAND COM'RS et al. (Supreme Court of Wyoming. June 25, 1902.) Error to district court, Carbou county; David H. Craig, Judge. Suit by Frank Cooper against the state board of land commissioners and another. From a judgment for defendants, plaintiff brings error. versed. McMicken & Blydenburgh and N. E. Corthell, for plaintiff in error. J. A. Van Orsdel, Atty. Gen., for defendant in error state board of land com'rs. F. Chatterton, for defendant in error McCormick.

Re

POTTER, C. J. This was an action brought in the district court of Carbon county by the plaintiff in error to enjoin the state board of land commissioners and John W. McCormick from entering into an agreement of lease as to certain state lands which the plaintiff in error claimed should be leased to him in renewal of a former lease held by him for the premises. in consequence of the reclamation of the land through his efforts. Upon a hearing the board had rejected the claim of plaintiff in error, and ordered that a lease be executed to McCormick. An appeal was taken to the district court for Carbon county, and it is conceded that the purpose of this action was to cause a stay of further proceedings by the land board pending a hearing and decision on the appeal. The district court, having affirmed the determination of the board on the appeal aforesaid, ren

dered its judgment in this suit in favor of defendants, from which plaintiff prosecutes error. As the suit was ancillary to the contest arising in the land board, and both matters were before this court on error, this cause was submitted upon the briefs in the main case entitled "Frank Cooper, Plaintiff in Error, against John W. McCormick, Defendant in Error.' That case has been decided, by an opinion this day handed down (69 Pac. 301), and the judgment of the district court reversed, with direc tions to that court to reverse the determination of the board and order the issuance of a lease to Cooper, the plaintiff in error. No other points were discussed by counsel in this cause. As the district court based its judgment herein upon its affirmance in the other case of the decision of the board, and that having been adjudged by this court to be erroneous, the judgment in this cause will be reversed, and the cause remanded for such further proceedings as shall be deemed proper in the premises, in accordance with the views expressed by this

court in its opinion in the other case. Reversed. CORN and KNIGHT, JJ., concur.

STATE ex rel. BOSTON & M. CONSOL. COPPER & SILVER MIN. CO. v. DISTRICT COURT OF THE SECOND JUDICIAL DIST. (Supreme Court of Montana. Feb. 16, 1901.) Alternative writ of mandate issued. On motion to tax costs. Forbis & Evans, for relator. J. M. Denny, for defendant.

PER CURIAM. It appearing from the original and supplemental answers made to the alternative writs of mandate heretofore issued herein that the defendant has fully complied with the requirements of said writs in both hearing and determining the matters which it was sought by said writs to have heard and determined, but that no sufficient, or any, excuse is furnished why said matters were not heard and determined before the said writs were applied for and issued, it is ordered that the writs be discharged at the cost of the defendant.
