Syllabus

<p>Right of way—when ownership of land is doubtful. A railroad company seeking the condemnation of a part of a lot for the purposes of the road, has no cause to complain of an order of court fixing the compensation to be paid, and directing the money to be paid to the treasurer of the county for the benefit of the owners of the property affected, or those interested in it. Such an order does not determine who is entitled to the compensation awarded.</p>
