Decision Affirmed. A press telegram from Washington, dated the 25th, stated that the Supreme Court of the United States has affirmed the decision of the Supreme Court of Arizona in the case of L. L. Lewis and R. Allen Lewis VS. Fred Herrera, Receiver of the defunct International Bank in Nogales. As explained by Mr. Herrera to THE OASIS this is a final victory for the creditors of the bank in the litigation against General Lewis. It will be recollected that the bank was awarded a judgment against General Lewis several years ago. Upon that judgment, as explained by Mr. Herrera, an execution was issued against certain property of General and Mrs. Lewis in the city of Phoenix. Sale of the property under the execution was enjoined. Upon final hearing the injunction was dissolved. From the order of dissolution General and Mrs. Lewis appealed to the supreme court of the territory, which sustained the dissolution. From that decision the case was carried to the Supreme Court of the United States, and the judgment of that court, rendered Tuesday, affirms the decision of the territorial courts. The effect of this will be that when the remittitur from the Supreme Court at Washington comes down through the territorial supreme court, the execution will be stayed no longer and unless the judgment is settled the sheriff of Maricopa county can proceed to advertise and sell the property to satisfy the judgment. It will be several months likely, before all that is brought about. But when it does come the receiver will have a bit of money.
