NOTE GUARANTOR
NOT RESPONSIBLE
TILL MAKER FAILS
So Decides Supreme Court in
UNFOLDING Decision of
District Bench.
Trlbune's Helena Bureau)

Helena. Nov. 6.-That a mere guar
antor of a promissory note who does
not sign the note as one of the makers
or as an endorser thereof cannot be
held liable for payment Of the note
until the maker has defaulted is the
decision of the Montana supreme court
in affirming the district court of Chou
teau county, which had dissolved an
attachment upon the property Of the
%guarantor. This was in the case Of the
Square Butte State bank against r. c.
Ballard
1t was an action institatad to en-
force Billiards. guaranty IF til, "col-
lection and payment of a promissory
note in the sum of 1857, executed aid
delivered to the bank by Otto e. TIoge
and due October /. 1921.
The complaint in the case showed
that Hoge had become insol, emit prior
to the maturity date of the note and
his property subject to attachment.
The bank had elected to declare the
note due and had her instituted at
tachment proceedings under which
property of the %guarantor vas seized
by the sheriff.
Bank Appeals Case
Ballard demurred to the complaint
or the ground that the action had been
brought before the note was due and
that Hoge had not been made q de-
PENDANT to the suit, and he filed 2 mo-
ton to quash the writ of attachment
because his guaranty did not constitute
a contract for the direct payment of
money within the meaning of the at
tachment statutes. The court dis
solved the attachment, whereupon the
bank appealed to the supreme court.
The opinion of the supreme court,
prepared by Associate Justice &. il.
Cooper, upholds the district court in
taking the view that Ballard merely
insured the collection and payment"
of the note but did not agree to be
bound as a joint maker nor as an en-
dorser. The opinion holds that the
note and the guaranty are distinct and
separate Of each other.
Opinion Concurred In
A separate opinion, which was signed
by the other associate justices, and
which was delivered ly Associate JUS
tice W. l.. Holloway, concurs III the
result of the Cooper opinion, but does
not subscribe to all IF lis views. This
holds that Ballard was not a party TO
the note and the debt evidenced 10y the
note was not his debt that a
guaranty of payment is termed an alb
solute guaranty, while o guaranty OF
collection is a conditional g%uaranty;
that if it be treated as a con-
ditional guaranty Billiards. liability
would not attach until the plaintiff had
exercised due diligence to collect the
amount due from Hoge and had failed.
and if accepted as an absolute guaran-
ty Billiards. liability would not arise
until the default of the maker of the
note, or, in other words, plaintiff could
not state u cause OF action against Bal
lard unless and until the maker failed
to pay the note when due.
