Holds wife IL Liable.
In the case OF Leske against Leake. pros
secuted on error from Dodge county. the
supreme court lays down the law that
when q husband is actually a part Of a
family. living with 1t a. such. and Is tenn
p~orarily incapaeitated by illness. his main
tenance and support, including necessary
medical attendance, comes fairly within the
rule Of the statute which makes the wife
liable as surety for necessaries furnished the
family. II is held that where the husband
and family. including the wife, remove to
q sister state and no judgment can be OBJ
tanned against him in this state. the OBJ
tanning OF a judgment against him In the
courts where he resides, causing an ex-
ecution to issue thereon and having 1t re-
turned unsatis1ed. Is a sufficient COM
pliance with the law to sustain an action
against the wife to recover for medical at
tendance.
The holding Of the court in the case OF
Bratche- against the National Aid Associa-
tion, appealed from Clay county. will be OF
interest to members OF beneficiary organi-
nations. 1t is the decision OF the court
that where an application for a benent
certlncate OF membership IN q mutual ben
eft association declares on It's face that pay
ment Of a FIRST assessment and registry
fee is . condition precedent TO membership
and to the issuing Of the certificate. and
the bylaws contain the same provision. the
applicant does not become a member and
the certificate Is not in force until such
payments are actually made. Manual pos
session OF the beneht certificate. in case It
IL In force and is q binding contract. is
not necessary in order to maintain an Ac-
ton upon II. Where the certificate Is not
in force and its issuance and delivery is
refused, possession OF it obtained in an ac-
tion OF replev.n before q justice OF the
peace, does not satisfy the requirements
Of issuance and delivery, and the rights OF
the holder remain the same as they were
before he obtained possession Of It in
that manner.
