Shea, P. J.Appellee brought tbis action upon a benefit certificate payable to her, issued by appellant society on tbe life of Judson C. Loveland, ber son. No demurrers were filed to any of tbe pleadings, and no issues of law decided. *570The cause was submitted to the court for trial. Finding and judgment for appellee for $3,000. The overruling of appellant’s motion for a new trial is the only error relied on for a reversal. The reasons assigned in support of the motion for a new trial are that the decision of the court is not sustained by sufficient evidence, and is contrary to law. The case was tried on an agreed statement of facts, no other evidence being introduced.
It is very earnestly insisted on behalf of appellee that there has been such failure in the preparation of the brief of appellant as to present no question to this court.
1. To the agreed statement of facts, made a part of it by exhibit, were attached the by-laws of the company, some seven hundred in number, in printed form. One of the stipulations contained this language: “It is hereby stipulated and agreed between the parties of the above entitled cause that said case shall be tried by the court without a jury, and that said case shall be tried upon the pleadings now on file and the following agreed statement of facts, together with the exhibits hereto attached, and that no further evidence shall be offered by either party than is contained and provided for in this stipulation, to wit: * * * It is agreed that exhibit C, hereto attached and made a part hereof, is a true and correct copy of the by-laws of the said Modern Woodmen of America in force at the time of the issuance of the benefit certificate herein sued on, to wit, May 21, 1900; and that exhibit D, hereto attached and made a part hereof, is a true and correct copy of the by-laws of said Modern Woodmen of America in force from and after the first day of September, 1908, and up to and including the date of the death of the said Judson C. Loveland, which occurred June 4,1910; that such sections of said by-laws as either party may desire may be considered as evidence on the trial of this case and incorporated in the record thereof.” The brief of appellant fails to disclose what, if any portion, of the by-laws either party wished to *571have considered as evidence. In fact, the brief does not disclose that any part of the by-laws was considered as evidence except the fact that they are attached to the agreed statement of facts as shown above, the purpose of which seems to have been to enable the parties to select the parts to be used in evidence. The fact that all the by-laws are attached to the bill of exceptions does not enable this court to determine just what part of them was considered by the lower court in reaching its conclusion.
2. 3. The second point made is that the statement of the record is wholly insufficient; that there is an incomplete statement of the evidence upon which appellant relies for a reversal of the cause. Appellant insists that the benefit certificate, six pages long, the application twelve pages long, the by-laws adopted prior to the time decedent was admitted as a member, 336 in number, comprising thirty-nine printed pages, and those adopted afterward, 365 in number, 113 printed pages, as well as the stipulation recited in the bill of exceptions, were all the evidence given in the cause. Appellant’s brief, however, fails to sufficiently set out any of these instruments or by-laws, or even to set out fully the agreed facts which are found in the bill of exceptions. The bill of exceptions sets out the agreed statement of facts containing the stipulation above quoted, but nowhere in the briefs does the court find that any part of the by-laws was actually considered as evidence. It is true the by-laws as above described are attached to the bill of exceptions and sought to be made a part thereof by exhibit. In view of the stipulation that the parties were to point out at the trial the particular parts of the bylaws to be considered as evidence, the briefs should show just what particular sections of the by-laws were actually considered by the court. Appellant in its reply brief insists that sufficient evidence is set out to enable the court to determine the questions presented, but only §§7 and 18 of the by-laws fully appear in the brief as exhibits to the answer filed by *572appellant to appellee’s complaint. The substance of §§14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 37, 260 and 287 is set out in the statement of the record. If this were all that was necessary to determine the questions involved, then the record should not have, been incumbered with numerous and voluminous documents, and it should have been indicated in some manner that these and no others were considered by the lower court.
4. This court is wholly unable from the briefs of appellant to determine the facts upon which the court below reached its conclusion, and in such a condition of the record, we must indulge the presumption that the cause was rightly decided. Vesey v. Day (1911), 175 Ind. 406, 409, 94 N. E. 481; Allen v. Gavin (1892), 130 Ind. 190, 29 N. E. 363; Smith v. Collins (1914), 55 Ind. App. 695, 103 N. E. 12; Pichon v. Martin (1905), 35 Ind. App. 167, 170, 73 N. E. 1009. Judgment affirmed.
