Whether or not the petition was subject to demurrer as setting out the wrong measure of damages, the petition contained allegations showing that the plaintiff was damaged in an alleged amount, and otherwise set out a cause of action. It was a matter of proof upon the trial before a jury, as to the damage, if any, which the plaintiff had suffered. Koch
