The following opinion was filed February 3, 1904:
The evidence shows that there was no contract, either express or implied, made by Shepeck, the guardian, to pay for the services performed by the plaintiff; and, as Zalinka was incompetent and under guardianship, there-could b¿ no contract made by him. Hence there can be no recovery unless the services can be called necessaries. Sec. ‘3979, Stats. 1898. Doubtless it ivas necessary that the ward should have the personal attentions which the plaintiff gave ‘him, but, if the guardian had made provisions for the wants-of the ward in this respect, a mere volunteer, who assumed to perform the services without the authority of knowledge
By the Gourt. — Judgment affirmed.
A motion for a rehearing was denied March 22, 1904.
