A fragment from a 19th century page lists professionals including a dentist and a physician with offices in Marshfield Wisconsin, plus lawyers engaging in practice across courts. It also contains a lengthy legal discussion about county bonds, sureties, and alleged misrepresentations surrounding a county treasurer’s bond, with figures cited for an ongoing auction and refunds totaling dollars.
The case questions whether the official bond of county treasurer Beaver, signed by listed sureties, constitutes a valid obligation to recover funds in the county treasury. The demurrer argues the complaint fails to state a cause of action since not all signers may be bound, and the bond delivered may not bind non-signing sureties. The court analyzes bond validity, signature completeness, and implied assurances, noting the bond was executed for Beaver by his co-defendants at his request for his benefit.
