Kelley v. City of Fort Collins

Chief Justice Steele delivered the opinion of the court: The defendant was fined by the county court for the violation of an ordinance of the city of Fort Collins. She appeals to this court. It is urged that under the authority of The People v. Braisted, 13 Col. App. 532; Walton v. Canon City, 14 Col. App. 352; and Wilcox v. The People, 17 [475] Col. App. 109, the city should not he permitted to maintain the action. The last and controlling case is that of The People v. Chapman, 31 Colo. 90; but we shall not discuss these cases, nor undertake to apply them to the facts of this case, as there is no testimony to sustain a finding that the city had bought liquors or had furnished money with which to buy liquors, from the defendant. The court correctly, we think, found the defendant guilty, and as no prejudicial error intervened to warrant a reversal of the cause, the judgment is affirmed. Affirmed. Mr. Justice. Campbell and Mr. Justice Musses concur.
