Ohnstad v. Henry Meyers. St. Anthony & Dakota Elevator Co.
Opinion of the Court
In the fall of 1919 plaintiff plowed nearly 100 acres of land for defendant located in the state of North Dakota near the Minnesota line. In September, 1920, plaintiff ¡began this action to recover the amount due for the plowing and garnished the St. Anthony & Dakota Elevator 'Company by serving a garnishee summons on the agent in charge of its elevator at Georgetown, Minnesota. On October 12, 1920, the agent appeared in response to the garnishee summons and disclosed that the elevator company had in its possession in its elevator at Georgetown something over 1,100 bushels of grain 'belonging to the defendant. Thereafter service by publication was made on defendant who was a resident of Iowa. Judgment having been entered against defendant, judgment was entered against the garnishee on April 8, 1922. On May 19, 1922, the garnishee made a motion to set aside this judgment on the ground that its agent had made a mistake in disclosing that the grain 'belonged to the defendant; that, in fact, it did not ¡belong to defendant but to W. F. Meyers; and that a thresher’s lien given by the laws of North Dakota and amounting to more than the value of the grain had been established against it. The trial court denied the motion and the garnishee appealed.
The application to open the judgment and permit a -further disclosure was addressed to the discretion of the trial court, and the record will not warrant us in saying that the court abused its discretion.
Order affirmed.
