Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. Annual School Meeting — Lawfully Adjourned — Treasurer Elected on Adjourned Day. The evidence in this case is held sufficient to sustain findings of the trial court to the effect that an annual school district meeting was lawfully adjourned; that an adjourned meeting was lawfully held at which the plaintiff was duly elected treasurer of the district.</p> <p>2. Mandamus — Requiring Clerk to File Treasurer’s Oath of Office and Bond. While mandamus is not the form of an action in which to try the title to an office, all that was required of the plaintiff was a prima facie showing of sufficient right to the office of treasurer to entitle him to demand the performance of plain duties incumbent upon the defendant as clerk of the board.</p> <p>3. Same. Upon the findings and evidence a judgment commanding the defendant, as clerk of the school board, to file plaintiff’s bond and oath of office as treasurer, and to approve the bond, is sustained.</p>
