HENRIOD, Justice
(concurring in the result).
I concur in the result, but in doing so, express considerable doubt as to the en*415forcement, under the broad language of the Wyoming statute, of a contract made and performed in Wyoming, by one stockholder, against another Utah stockholder, in the Utah courts. The implications of the statute reach to infinity, and would permit a $100,000 judgment to be rendered in Utah against an individual shareholder, holding a $1.00 share of stock, even though the latter had never been in the state of Wyoming, and never heard of the alleged contract.
I believe the all-inclusive breadth of the Wyoming statute raises serious constitutional and conflicts of laws questions that are not discussed or settled in our decision, but which were raised on appeal.
