Syllabus

<p>NOTICE OP APPEAL — WHO ENTITLED TO SERVICE — APPEALABLE ORDER — COUNTY AUDITOR’S BOND — BREACH — LIABILITY OP SURETIES.</p> <p>The fact that some of the defendants to an action come in, after the rendition of judgment and notice of appeal, and file an answer in the cause, although the same had been previously served on plaintiff’s attorney, does not put them in a position requiring notice of appeal to be served on them.</p> <p>An order granting a motion to strike certain allegations from the complaint is appealable, when it affects a substantial right and determines the action as to the particular matter in issue.</p> <p>The sureties upon the bond of a county auditor are liable for his failure to account for moneys received as purchasing agent of the board of county commissioners, under statutes providing that the auditor should be ex officio clerk of the board and making it his duty as such clerk to perform all the duties required by law or any rule or order of the board, when he has been required by order of the board to act as purchasing agent for them.</p>
