Document:
APPEAL from the District Court of the Ninth Judicial District, for Jefferson County. Hon. Geo. W.W. Edgington, Judge.
Action to recover balance of purchase price under conditional sales contract. Judgment of nonsuit for respondent. Reversed.
C.W. Morrison and W.H. Anderson, for Appellant.
Upon breach, by the purchaser, of a title-retaining contract of sale providing for instalment payments, prefaced by the agreement: "which I agree to take and to pay for as follows:" with the further agreement in case of default to return the property, the seller has two remedies; the collection of the remainder of the purchase price, or, second, the retaking of the property. ( Pease v. Teller Corp., 22 Idaho 807, 128 Pac. 981; Thienes v. Francis, 69 Or. 171, 134 P. 1195, 138 Pac. 845; Manganese Steel Safe Co. v. First Nat. Bank, 25 S.D. 119, 125 N.W. 572; Sioux Falls Adjustment Co. v. Aikens, 32 S.D. 154, 142 N.W. 651; Mortensen Woodworking Co. v. Raabe, 171 N.Y. Supp. 128. See, also, Arthur E. Guth Piano Co. v. Adams, 114 Me. 390, 96 Atl. 722.) The appellant plead and made a prima facie case under the first alternative remedy and the trial court therefore erroneously entered a nonsuit in favor of the purchaser.
The judgment is ordered reversed and the cause remanded. Costs awarded to appellant.
Taylor and T. Bailey Lee, JJ., concur.
