171 N.W. 827 | N.D. | 1919
This is an appeal from a judgment for $220.47, including costs, and from an order denying a motion for judgment contrary to the verdict. The claim is for dray work done at the request of Baldwin, and for the use and benefit of himself and the defendant. Baldwin had arranged with the defendant to construct for its operation a power line, and as a part of the arrangement it was to furnish the materials. The poles were shipped by rail to Fessenden and were billed to “the Fessenden Light & Power Company.” The dray age work of the plaintiff was to get from the railroad depot and yards the material shipped to the defendant and to distribute the same along the line, so in reality the building of the line was a joint venture between Baldwin and the defendant. When the work was done Baldwin made to the company a bill of sale for his interest in the line and his interest in contracts with some ten persons, who each agreed to pay and contribute a nice sum of the expense of the line, and defendant assumed and agreed
Affirmed.
