WAYNE COUNTY TREASURER APPEALS ON JUDGMENT Lincoln, Neb.β€”(Special)β€”J. J. Steele, treasurer of Wayne county, appealed Saturday to the supreme court from a judgment for $3,75 rendered in district court in favor of the Massachusetts Bonding and Insurance company. The latter was surety for deposits of the county in the Citizens National bank and the sum named represents the difference between the amount received in dividends from the bank receiver and what it had to pay the county as the sum on deposit in excess of the legal limit when the bank failed. Steele says that the excess deposit was permitted by a resolution of the county board, as there was more county money on hand than the banks of the county could legally accept, and hence the bonding company was under no legal compulsion to pay.
