In Re Dissolution And Disorganization Of Horse Heaven Irrigation District. Chester Anderson

ROBINSON, J. -- On June 9, 1939, the trustees of the Horse Heaven Irrigation District (a dissolved district) filed their account and petition praying for the distribution of the assets of the district to those by law entitled thereto, that the trust estate administered upon by them be closed, and that they be discharged from their trust. In their account, the trustees reported that Rudolph Piening and Otto Piening were the owners of certain described land within the limits of the district and were entitled to have distributed to them a proportionate part of its assets. Chester Anderson filed written objections to this part of the account, claiming that, on February 4, 1939, the date of the entry of the order of the court dissolving the district, he held a contract to purchase the land from the owners thereof and was entitled to have such assets distributed to him.
