Admit Their Mistake.

Auditor Walker issued the war
rants for payment at 9 o'clock
MC1day, because he found
the appeal bond of Ness attor-
neys, was not sufficient. Imme
diately these attorneys filed a pc
tition for mandate against Audi
tor Walker, in the circuit court.
BUT at IL Monday morning
they practically admitted that
their first bond was insufficient,
by filing another bond. which
complies with requirements OF
law. The reason given by Audi
tor Walker for the non-accept-
ance OF the bond filed Friday was
that there was no provision in
the bond for penalty or damages.
The second bond remedied this
defect. but the second bond OF
appeal was not filed until the
warrant had been issued. and the
money drawn thereon by Conrac-
tor O. Keefe.
The first bond for appeal was
fled BY attorneys for Ness, Fri
day afternoon. Immediately after
the claims had been allowed by
the board. Saturday afternoon,
Auditor Walker telephoned to the
Ness attorneys that the bond
