        "text": "Mr. Justice Carter\ndelivered the opinion of the court:\nThis is a suit to establish a sub-contractor\u2019s mechanic\u2019s lien. The bill was filed June 20, 1906, in the circuit court of Henry county, and a decree entered thereon finding that the appellees were entitled to a lien on a part of the premises specified in the bill for $1717.73 and were entitled to $171.77 attorney\u2019s fees. Upon an appeal to the Appellate Court for the Second District that court affirmed the decree as to the lien but reversed it as to the allowance of attorney\u2019s fees. This appeal followed.\nThe legal questions raised in this case are identical with those raised in Granquist v. Western Tube Co. (ante, p. 132,) and the facts, if not in every respect identical, are substantially the same in the two cases. While the petition in this case did not state that Granquist claimed a lien on the premises, (as the petition in the Granquist case did in reference to Porter & Trask\u2019s claim for lien,) still the evidence disclosed in the trial of this case that Granquist had a claim as a sub-contractor. When that fact appeared in the trial of the case appellees should have made Gram quist a party. The decision in Granquist v. Western Tube Co. supra, must control in this case.\nFor the error committed by the circuit court in entering a final decree without having all necessary parties before the court, and the error of the Appellate Court in affirming that decree, the judgment of the Appellate Court and the decree of the circuit court are reversed and the cause remanded to the circuit court of Henry county for further proceeding's in accordance with the views expressed in that opinion.\nReversed and remanded.",
