Judge Vanatta in Marion . Case Reverses Circuit Court.

Judge Robert Vanatta of the Grant Superior_je6urt has handed down a lengthy decision in a Marion liquor case, involving the right of the county commissioners to go behind the returns of the option election held in that city. The case is now back in the circuit court as a result of Judge Vanatta’s decision, and Judge Paulus of the circuit court is virtually asked to reverse his own ruling wherein he held the appeal of the “wets” from the decision of the county commissioners should be dismissed on the. ground that the commissioners had no jurisdiction in the case. The case has been in three different courts and has become more interesting since the recent decision of the supreme court that the commissioners had a right to go behind the returns.
