194 P. 96 | Idaho | 1920
This action was commenced for an accounting and to recover half of the net .promts on the purchase and sale of an interest in a mine which was bought and sold by respondent at a time when, appellant contends, there existed an agreement for an equal division between them of any profits which might arise from the deal.

There is a direct conflict in the evidence. Respondent denied any agreement ever existed between the parties to share the profits, and introduced evidence tending to show the $10 in question was loaned to him by appellant’s wife and was by him repaid to her.

The judgment is affirmed. Costs are awarded to respondent.
