MUST FILE BOND ON
APPEAL FROM JUSTICE COURT

The supreme court has decideo
that there can be no review OF
Judgment of justice of the peace
in a superior court, except upon
appeal, and that there can be no
appeal from a justice of the peace
court unless a bond for twice the
amount involved is filed. The deci-
sion reverses one announced by the
supreme court recently, in ruling
upon the same case appealed from
the district court of this county, j.
G.. Norman VS.. L. H. ToliVer.
An automobile which j. G. NOR
man owned and upon which the
Home Savings bank of Des Moines'
Ia, claimed to have a mortgage
was left in the Toliver garage. The
bank sued to foreclose the mort
gage. Mr.. Norman then began &C
tion to replevin the car, naming Mr.
Toliyer as defendant. After the suit
was begun, Judge J. P. Quinn al
lowed the Home Savings bank to
be substituted for Mr.. Toliver as
defendant in the case and on this
point the case was carried to the
district court after judgment In
favor of the bank had been render
ed by Judge Quinn. Judge King rul'
ed that the lower court erred in al
lowing the substitution of the bank
as defendant and reversed the de-
cision. The Home Savings bank ap'
pealed the case, and the supreme
court held that the case could not
be appealed to the district court
unless the proper appeal bond wa'
filed. S. S. Smith and R. H. Seeds
were attorneys for the bank.
The supreme court decision dis
misses the appeal in district cour'
here.

by section crews.
The company announces that new
ballast will be placed on the road
