The litigation in the Gage county district
court for the purpose of testing the law
relative to the requirement of bonds Tor

Judge Pemberton yesterday heard the
arguments In the case and decided that
the bond question was yet before tue

urer had demanded a bond. When thai
Is done the bank can ask for manda-
mus requiring a bond, and the matter
can be promptly settled by the supreme
court.
