1. ““The only evidence tending to show that the assessed valuation put upon the lands by the taxing officers of the county was fraudulently excessively made, is the testimony of -witnesses tending to show that the lands were assessed in excess of fifty per cent of their actual value, and in excess, proportionately, of the assessment of other. similar lands in the county. A painstaking review of the evidence, practically all of which was opinion evidence, and by no means free from conflict, convinces us that it does not warrant the conclusion that the lands in question were valued by the assessing officers in excess of fifty per cent of their real value, as limited by § 9112, Bern. Code, nor that the lands were assessed at a value materially in excess of that at which other similar lands in the county were assessed ;—that is, that the evidence does not show such excessive valuation with that degree of conclusiveness calling for interference by the court's in such cases. We think it would be unprofitable to review the evidence in detail in this opinion. The judgment is affirmed.””
