From Linn: William Galloway, Judge.
In Banc.
Statement by Mr. Justice Eakin.
This is a suit by S. H. Singleton against E. H. Rhodes to foreclose a mechanic’s lien.
The answer says the contract was for $30, and that the work was not performed in accordance therewith, but he tendered $30, and brought that sum into court as full payment. The court below heard the testimony, and entered a decree for the amount claimed and for $20 as attorney’s fee.
Affirmed.
For appellant there was a brief by Mr. William S. Risley.
For respondent there was a brief over the name of Mr. Dan Johnston.

Opinion:
Mr. Justice Eakin
delivered the opinion of the court.
Only a question of fact is involved. The court below saw the witnesses and heard their testimony. This we have read, and find that the preponderance is with the plaintiff.
The decree is therefore affirmed. Affirmed.
