COMPANY IS HELD
RESPONSIBLE For
WATER DELIVERY
Decision of Gallatin County
Court Is Affirmed by
Supreme Bench.
Special to The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune.
Helena, Feb. 27-Stockholders Of an
incorporated mutual ditch company are
not tenants in common, their relation
to the company is one of contract and
they can maintain actions against the
company for damages because Of fail
ure to deliver water. SO holds the
Montana supreme court i'll decision
delivered by Commissioner Roy l..
Ayers, handed down Monday. whereby
the court affirms the Judgment and
order denying new trial made by the
district court of Gallatin county in the
case of B. Hyink against Low Line
Irrigation company. corporation.
The records show that in May, 1917.
the II. s. Buell. Land company, leased
to the plaintiff section Of land in Cal
latin county together with 400 shares
Of water for the irrigation thereof, the
water to be furnished by the Low Line
company subject to its rules and regu-
lations. Plaintiff sought to recover
damages from the Low Line company
leased from the Buell. company, which
failure he alleged caused damage of
81, 7O4 to his crops. A jury gave him
a verdict of $1,000 upon which judg
ment was entered and the court denied
defendants motion for a new trial.
Defendant appealed from the judgment
and order, upon the grounds that there
was no privity of contract between
plaintiff, as lessee, and the defendant
and that consequently the defendant
did not owe plaintiff any duty which
would charge it with liability.
The supreme court holds that con-
tractural relations existed between
plaintiff and the Buell. company and
that by the latter assigning it's water
lease to plaintiff a privity of contract
existed between plaintiff and defend
ant. As to the liability of the Low
Line company the court holds that if
the company can assess its stockhold-
ers for maintenance or distribution of
water it must answer in damages to
stakeholder for failure to live up
to its part Of the contract.

ORDER Attachment
AGAINST DIRECTOR
To Be DISCHARGED
Supreme Court Reverse S
Meagher County Decision
in Suit for Debt.
Special to The Tribune


Helena, Feb. 27.-That the iabil-
ity of director of a corporation for
the debts of that corporation in the
event of it's failure to file an annual
statement is purely statutory and in
the nature of penalty for failure to
obey the mandate of the law and that
such director cannot be considered as
having assumed contract to pay the
debts of the corporation when it has
ion of the Montana supreme court in
inion Of the Montana supreme court in
a decision handed down Monday in the
Meagher county appeal case of Wal
Ter Butler against A. G. Peters.
This action had been brought to re-
cover the amount of an Indebtedness
due plaintiff from the White Sulphur
Springs Mineral Water company, a
corporation. and liability was sought to
be fastened upon the defendant, Fet-
ers. because he was a director of the
corporation at the time the indebted
ness was incurred and because the an
nual report required by law had not
been filed. A writ of attachment was
issued and defendants property was
seized The appeal was taken from an
order of the district court refusing to
discharge the attachment.
Under the Montana statute an at
tachment may issue only in an action
upon contract, express or implied,
for the direct payment of money, says
the opinion. and the appeal presents
the single question as to whether the
liability of a director arises ont OF a
contract. The supreme court nnids
that a liability imposed by statute and
not assumed by voluntary agreement
of the parties is not contract. Ac-
cordingly it is held that the attachment
was improperly issued and the district
court order is reversed and the c':se
remanded with directions to discharge
the attachment The opinion was de-
livered by Associate Justice w. L.
Holloway.

suit to collect $50 on note and 500
attorneys fees.
The defendant appealed. raising the
question that the attorney fee was
unreasonable and that the collection
Of the note was barred by the statute

The supreme court. in an opinion by
Court Commissioner A. L. Stark, holds
that the statute of limitations does

The attorney fee is upheld upon
the ground that there was no contra

not been pleaded as defense, the

cause for a new trial

ploye of defendant Plaintiff was given
judgment and defendant appealed from
the judgment and an order denying
new trial.
1t was shown at the trial that
Leland violated the city ordinances reg
ulating speed and fixing other traffic
rules and it was brought out that there
was strong assumption that Pickett
may have done likewise. The court
ignored the question of plaintiffs con-
tributory negligence.
The supreme court holds that a
violation of the speed ordinances by
Leland constituted negligence for
which his employer might be charged,
but equally so the violation of the
same ordinance by plaintiff constituted
negligence and a contributing proximate
cause of the collision, and that the
issue Of contributory negligence should
have been submitted to the jury.
The opinion of the court was de-
livered by Associate Justice W. L.
