    HEADNOTE BY THE REPORTER.

    ■ Appeal from Dickinson district court.
    Opinion filed May 10, 1913.
    Affirmed.
    
      C. S. Crawford, of Abilene, for the appellant.
    
      C. E. Rugh, of Abilene, for the appellee.
   Per Curiam:

The contract involved in this case created an agency for the disposition of the defendant’s railroad stock but not an exclusive agency or a general power to control its disposition. The defendant still had the right to make an independent sale without consulting or notifying the plaintiff. Since the plaintiff failed to effect a disposition of the stock nothing was received through his efforts and he earned nothing.

The judgment of the district court is affirmed.
