If it divides a district, and makes no provision for the division of the property thereof, the property of the sea same topic and KEY-NUMBER In all Key-Numbered Digests and Index former district, sltunte within the territory remaining In the old district, together with all intangible property In Its possession, remains the property of the old district; the property situate In a new district passes to snch new district; the existing indebtedness stands against the old district. The Legislature can, by direct legislation, declare the exact property that shall belong to each new district, and what amount of indebtedness, if any, that shall be assumed by such new districts, or It can declare the rule that shall govern the division of property and indebtedness, and leave to some person or commission the administrative act of making the apportionment according to such prescribed rule. Our Legislature pursued the latter course. The action of the commission, in adjusting the property rights and carrying out the legislative intent, was purely administrative. This action. If regular, and not vitiated by any fraud, is as binding as would have been the same action by the Legislature Itself. The only function of the court Is to enforce the apportionment made. Davenport v. Elrod, 20 S. D. 567, 107 N. W. 833; Board of Education v. Board of Education, 30 W. Va. 424, 4 S.

Not illustrated. 1905 edition. Excerpt: ...until November 12, 1000, when, it appearing from the affidavit of J. H. McCulloch, one of the attorneys for the Omaha National Bank, that Robinson was dead, that no order of revivor had been made, and that more than one year had elapsed since such order could have been made, the action was stricken from the docket. The case remained in this condition until February, 1004, when a motion was made in behalf of the executors of Robinson to revive the original judgment in the district court A conditional order of revivor was allowed providing that, unless the defendant showed cause by March 14, 1904, the judgment should stand revived. The defendant made a return to this order to show cause by alleging the facts in regard to the death of Robinson, the reversal of the judgment, and the action of the district court thereafter striking the case from the docket Evidence was adduced, and at the hearing the district court sustained the motion for revivor, and made it absolute. No motion for a new trial was filed. The plaintiff In error in its petition assigns: (1) The court erred in sustaining the motion of this defendant in error for a revivor of said judgment; (2) the court erred in signing and directing the entry of the order reviving said Judgment The first question presented is whether or not these assignments present any question for review in view of the fact that no motion for a new trial was filed in the district court. In the view we take of the case, it is not necessary to consider this assignment. We are of the opinion that the proceedings had in the Supreme Court were void; that the judgment of reversal was of no validity, nor was the mandate of any force. We have repeatedly said that a Judgment rendered by a court without jurisdiction...

Not illustrated. 1910 edition. Excerpt: ...a legal entity, and may sue or be sued. Comp. Laws, 10,025; Act No. 175, p. 234, Pub. Arts 1907. Important and tangible property rights are involved. By the act of the Grand Mistress the entire membership comprising the relator is deprived of $26,000 of Insurance, unless by grace its members may be admitted into other lodges. In Burt v. Grand Lodge of Masons, 66 Mich. 85, 33 N. W. 13, no property rights were Involved, and the court found that the relator, Burt, was not, and never had been, a member of the Grand Lodge, or of the lodge that originally undertook to expel him. Such cases do not affect the question In the instant case. 4. Respondents are citizens of another state, and It is urged that the writ of mandamus will not issue against them. Migratory headquarters of an association like this, organized under the law of Michigan, cannot control the Jurisdiction of the courts when the rights of the citizens of Michigan are involved. The domicile of the association, not the domicile of its officers, controls the jurisdiction of the courts. Under the respondents' contention, an aggrieved subordinate lodge in Michigan, the home of the association, or one of its members, would be compelled to resort to the courts of California or Texas, if the Grand Mistress of the order should be located and have her home In either of those states. It appears that the Grand Lodge had made no provision for a state agent upon whom service could be made. Service of the order to show cause was therefore made, under a proper showing, upon another subordinate lodge located in St Clair county. The validity of this service is not contested. The respondents, it appears, were notified of such service and voluntarily appeared and answered. They, therefore, ..."
