The warrant sued on is in these words: “ $324. State of Iowa, Monona Co.
“The treasurer of said county will pay to J. E. Morrison
“ Given under my hand and the seal of said county, at my office in Onawa, this 29th day of December, 1886.
[Seal.] “ Timothy Elliott, County Clerk.”
The plaintiff averred that at no time since the execution and delivery of the warrant was there any swamp-land money in the defendant’s treasury, not otherwise appropriated, until January 1, 1878.
The question raised by the demurrer to the petition is as to whether the plaintiff’s cause of action accrued earlier than January 1, 1878. In our opinion' it did not. The warrant was made payable out of' a special fund, and the defendant was not liable to an action on the warrant until the fund out of which it was made payable came into existence. "We think that the demurrer was improperly sustained.
Reversed.
