White co. WINS IN
A MANDAMUS CASE
JUDGE CAMPBELL RENDERS DE-
CISION THAT AUDITOR MAC
GIBBON MUST SIGN A WAR
RANT.

Judge Campbell of the circuit court
yesterday rendered a decision in the
mandamus case of the White Co.,
makers Of automobile trucks, against
Jas. Macgibbon as clerk and auditor
of the board of county commission
ers, in which the latter is instructed
to seal and sign a warrant for the
balance due the White Co. on a motor
truck.
The county commissioners recently
purchased truck from this company
and Mr.. Macgibbon declined to sign
the warrant in making the last pay
ment of about $4,000 on the ground
that the commissioners had adver-
tised for only one truck, but had pur-
chased two, the other from the Ray
Hardware Co.
The case of Kate M. Bannon VS..
the Springfield Fire & Marine In
surance Co. was decided in favor of
the plaintiff, who was awarded $500
with interest and attorneys fees.

sufficient answer to any claim that
