company has no other indebtedness
and that no judgments, mortgages or
other security for payment of debts
or liabilities are standing against the
concern.

recover Judgment for the same horse.
In this action the motion to dismiss
was granted because the suit, when
instituted in the Justices court was
begun under the common law and
Judgment rendered for plaintiff! An
appeal was taken by the defendant
and when the action reached the high
er court plaintiff sought to try it UNI
der the statutory law. Defendant en-
tered a motion for dismissal and was
sustained. From this ruling plaintiff
appealed and, the matter is now pend
ing in the supreme court.

der the statutory law and after yester-
days hearing had reached the stage
indicated defendants motion for leave
to amend the pleadings was made.
Plaintiff resisted and pleaded great
surprise and asked for the statutory
10 days in which to make answer Or
demur:. The court denied Defendants
request and ordered the trial to pro-
coed.
The defendant then entered a Sec
ond motion and asked the court to
instruct the jury to render a verdict
in favor of the company, on the
grounds that prosecution of the case
was barred by the record in case 1927,
and Furthermore that the testimony
went to show that the horse had been
killed on a public crossing of defend
ants road or had strayed through a
hole in defendants fence across a
cattle guard and onto the crossing,
and last that under the n~on-fencing
law of the state plaintiff was not en-
titled to recover damages for the ami
NAL killed.
The jury was excused during the en-
suing argument and when recalled
the court gave the instructions asked
by the defense. thus ending the case,
so far as the district court is concern
ed, for the second time.
