This cause comes to this court upon error from the district court of Valley county, in which court the defendant in error recovered a judgment against the plaintiffs in error. The cause of action set out in the petition in the court below is as follows:
The said defendant John Wall made answer to the above petition, and in his own behalf admitted that "during the spring of 1887 he signed a bond as one of the sureties of John C. Cory and William Shamburg, then doing business as copartners under the style and firm name of Cory & Shamburg, but whether the bond so signed by the defendant was the same bond sued on in this case the defendant has no knowledge except such as is derived from an inspection of the plaintiff's petition, and therefore denies that he executed the bond sued on in this cause, and demands proof of said fact and of the nature thereof, as alleged in the plaintiff's petition, and denies that he has, or ever has had, possession of the bonds sued on, and denies that he has any knowledge of its whereabouts, or ever had any such knowledge.
