Appeal from Circuit Court, Jackson County; C. M Thomas, Judge.
Action by G. S. Butler against the City of Ashland and others. From an order sustaining a demurrer, plaintiff appeals. Appeal dismissed.
This is an appeal from an order sustaining a demurrer to the complaint. The demurrer was filed in behalf of the defendant Talent irrigation district, and is based upon the ground that the complaint does not state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of suit against the defendants named therein. The city of Ashland and its mayor and recorder answered. The order appealed from is as follows: "It is therefore ordered that the demurrer to the complaint be and the same is hereby sustained."
No other action of the court has been taken, and the transcript clearly indicates that the suit has not been finally disposed of. The abstract of record contains this statement "After which, the plaintiff, declining to plead further filed a notice of appeal from the order sustaining defendant's demurrer."
The only error assigned is sustaining the demurrer to the complaint interposed in behalf of the Talent irrigation district. The plaintiff appeals.
Nellie Dickey, of Ashland, for appellant.
Briggs & Briggs, of Ashland, for respondents City of Ashland and others.
Calkins & Hanna, of Medford, for respondent Talent Irr. Dist.
