The City of Cripple Creek and various of its municipal officials seek a Writ of Prohibition to compel Mitchel B. Johns, a district judge and respondent herein, to change the venue in the trial of an action brought against them from the Denver District Court to the Teller County District Court. The action in issue is essentially a suit on behalf of a Denver based concrete products company against the City of Cripple Creek and other defendants for failure to make payments required by a contract. The contract involved dealt with the construction of a water system and a sanitary sewer system in Cripple Creek.
