Mandamus Granted.
The Messenger:
Mention was made recently of the case of the St. Johns State Bank and Apache County vs. Joe Burgess, county treasurer, which was a suit for mandamus to compel him to deposit the money of the county in the St. Johns State bank. This case was tried last month and taken under advisement by Judge Perkins of Flagstaff, Arizona, before whom the case was tried. He has just rendered his decision and granted the mandamus prayer for. His decision holds that the St. Johns State bank having been legally designated as a county depository for county monies, was entitled to have the county monies deposited with it. The county treasurer, Joe Burgess has for some time been depositing the county monies with another bank at St. Johns which paid no interest thereon. The county treasurer in his answer contended that the county treasurer had the right to cancel his designation with the St. Johns bank as depository and to deposit the money in any bank that suited him, but the superior court held against him.
