Washington Supreme Court October 31, 1923, No. 18256 (Jackson v. Thurston County)

Tolman, J.

Appellant, who is the sheriff of Thurs-ton county, brought this action as plaintiff to recover on a claim for services rendered by one Kirby, as deputy sheriff, duly assigned to him. From a judgment denying recovery, he prosecutes this appeal.

It appears that appellant took office as sheriff on January 8, 1923, and appointed one Hardwick as deputy.
