The complaint is the portation act of 1920, an action|case alleged that before the; appealed from the tenth judicial|/time set by the court, istrict for Idaho county, a re-|for the presentation of claims | hr the decree handed|against the estate had expired 4 3 f igen nyrhidie Wallace N. Scales| that of Mr. Barton was present- '% Chaplin? while sitting in chambers is sought, this decree being fav- orable to the plaintiff and res- pondent, T. M. Atwood. The complaint in the case sets forth that the railroad company on February 7, 1918, accepted for shipment from the Maxwell Motor Car corporation’s place of business at Tacoma, Wash., a carload of automobiles consigned to the firm of T. M. Attwood Sons, of Grangeville, issuing its bill of lading for the shipment and thereby contracted for de- livery in good condition of the shipment to the consignee. That the shipment was made and the cars received is not questioned by the plaintiff, but when they were aneded it was discovered. it is alleged, that they were in bad condition. The contention is that the railroad company ac- the shipment with the understanding that the cars would be delivered in good order, and that this provision was con- tained in the terms of the bill of lading. After the plaintiff had paid for the cars, prior to his having knowledge of injury in- flicted, as alleged in transport or otherwise, and unloaded the con- tents of the car it was discover- ed the cars “were broken, dent- ed, scarred, twisted, scratched and damaged,” the plaintiff claiming $1500 damages as the result o f. this alleged careless- ness on the part of the railroad company. ' When the case was called for ' trial the defendants defaulted in appearance, and Judge Scales handed down a decree awarding the plaintiff $1100 and $12.40 costs, from which the railroad company appeals. Scott Estate Claim. A. N. Dyer and A. S. Hardy, as executors of the last will and testament and estate of the late Wallace Scott, one of the most prominent figures in banking and business in north-central Idaho up to the time of his death on Oct. 4, 1919, appeared as ap- pellants in the case in which FE. S. Barton is respondent. The appeal to the supreme court is taken from a verdict handed down by a jury in the district court. at Grangeville in favor of the plaintiff and respondent, E. S. Barton, by which he was giv- en judgment against the estate for $6.000. When this cdse was originally filed in the district court Mr. Barton sued for $36,000, alleging this sum due for services render- ed Mr. Scott, an amount which he claimed was reasonable and that Mr. Scott promised to pay.
