““There is not even any pretense that there was the slightest ground for an attachment as against Rose. The action was therefore wrongfully commenced as against Rose, in whatever aspect we may view it; and as it was wrongfully commenced against Rose, it could not rightfully have been commenced against Hulse in Doniphan county. . . . Before a summons can be rightfully issued from one county to another, the person served with the summons in the county in which the action is brought must have a real and substantial interest in the subject of the action, adverse to the plaintiff, and against whom some substantial relief may be obtained.” (Page 600.)”
