<p>County Indebtedness — Insolvent Bank — Agency.—1. A county treasurer who deposits the public funds in an insolvent bank, and issues checks thereon in payment of outstanding warrants of the county, which checks are not paid, does not discharge the indebtedness of the county evidenced by such warrants, and the holders of said warrants may recover the money due thereon from the county. In such ease the county treasurer is acting as the agent of the county, which must suffer by reason of his wrongful acts.</p> <p>(Syllabus by the court.)</p>
