LINCOLN, Neb., Sept. 4.--[Special.]--The following cases were filed with the clerk of the supreme court today:

[...]

Edward McLernon vs. Adam Ickes. Error from Cheyenne county. This is a very interesting case. The defendant was elected treasurer of Cheyenne county and has held that position since January, 1890. He had for his sureties, among others, the American bank of Sidney. On August 10 the county board notified Treasurer Ickes that the surety was not considered good by them and that he would have to give a new and better bond. He neglected to do so, and then the board of commissioners appointed the plaintiff in this action as treasurer for said county after having first declared the office vacant. McLernon's bond was approved by the county board, and on the 31st of August he demanded the books, papers, etc., of the office and Ickes refused to vacate or turn over the county property to McLernon. He now asks a writ of ouster and that the defendant be declared not entitled to hold the office of treasurer of Cheyenne county.
