ed suit against A. H. Murphy, C. A.
Able and Otto Duncan as the board
of trustees of Homer township, in
which they ask that the said board
of trustees be restrained by an order
of the court from proceeding to ad-
vertise and sell the contract for the
construction Of certain partition
fences and that upon final hearing
the said trustees be perpetually en-
joined from so advertising and SELL
ing contract for the construction of
in any event asks said order be va
Gated as arbitrary, fraudulent and
unjust. Petition states plaintiffs are
owners of certain lands in Homer
township, and that p F. Wogan is
owner of lands adjoining theirs:
that May 16, 1899, said board OF
trustees of Homer township caused
to be served purported notice of
view on the partition lines, in which
trustees assigned certain portions
of the partition fences between their
lands, which plaintiffs and Wogan
were ordered to build and keep in
repair. Plaintiffs say the proceed
ings of trustees were irregular and
unlawful, and that assignment of
that portion of partition fences to
plaintiffs is illegal, arbitrary and
fraudulent, and ordered out of spite
against plaintiffs.
