which the plaintiffs objected because |
it was not filed with the motion as
the statute requires, and moved for q |
default and Judgment against this

is not compelled to appear in court
in behalf of any school district. If
he SO appears and renders services
he acts in a private and not in an
official capacity. The statute does,
however, provide he shall give service
to all county, precinct and school
officers, and draw up written instru-
ments connected with their official
duties. In the Pierce county case of
Bates Us. School District No. 10, the
plaintiff was the County Prosecuting
Attorney, rendered services in court
in behalf of the district, recovered
judgment for $3.50, which was up
held by the above tribunal in a rul-
ing of recent date.
