The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““This is an original proceeding in mandamus brought by an individual citizen, voter, taxpayer and wheat grower of Stanton county, against the members of the board of county commissioners for that county, to compel them to put into force and effect the township herd law, in certain townships of the county, in accordance with the prayer of petitions, alleged to have been signed by the requisite number of qualified electors in the respective townships, and to conform to the statutes in other respects (R. S. 47-101 et seq.), which were presented to defendants August 1, 1927. . . .” (pp. 81, 82.)”
