Appellate Court Affirms Decision of Newton Circuit Court. The appellate court has affirmed a judgment of the Newton circuit court, making Glaseo D. Clymer, of Goodland, liable for $3,597.59 on a guardian bond, with two other sureties, which he executed in 1901 to permit the guardian to sell real estate of his ward for reinvestment. The guardian reported the sale of the land in March, 1902, and tendered the money to the court. The court entered an order approving the guardian’s actions in the matter, releasing Clymer and tho other bondsman of future liability and approving a new bond of the guardian, with Clymer’s cosurety and a new surety as sureties. The court, in affirming the judgment, holds that Clymer is still liable on the bond because he did not file a petition to be released as surety with notice to the guardian in a manner provided by law for a release of sureties.
