Missouri Power Company suit was never begun
Special to the Standard Helena, Dre. 23 Service has never been obtained by the United Missouri River Power Company upon the Wip rondin Bridge and Iron Company in its suit to recover 3590.24 damages alleged to have been sustained by the washing out of the Houserake dam April 14, 1808. In an opinion by Justice Henry C. Smith the supreme court today affirmed the order of the district court of Cascade county quashing the summons. T. J. Kleinschmidt was the statutory agent in Montana of the defendant company from 1894 until April 41, 1908, on week after the washing out of Lavdam, when a certificate of revocation or the appointment was filed with the secretary of state and the county clerk and recorder. When the damage suit was filed, jurisdiction to process was made to Mr. Kleinschmidt. This was quashed by the district court. The judgment in favor of the plaintiffs in the case from Great Falls 5, 7 Swilling and Tom Wheeler against the Cottonwood Land company is affirmed in another opinion by Justice Holloway.
