Herreid v. Chicago Milwaukee, & St. Paul Railway Co.
Herreid v. Chicago Milwaukee, & St. Paul Railway Co.
Opinion of the Court
Motion to strike this cause from the records of this court becáuse of the alleged failure of appellant to serve an undertaking on appeal. Respondent denies that he failed to serve an undertaking, and prays that, if the court finds that no undertaking was served, it be allowed to serve one with like force and effect as if served with the notice of appeal. The attempted appeal is from both a judgment and an order denying a new trial, and the statutory time within which an appeal from either could be taken has expired.
There is a direct dispute as to what took place at the time appellant served the notice of appeal. The party who served whatever papers were served swore that he had with him the original notice of appeal and undertaking “with some copies” and handed them all to the attorney for respondent. He does not state that he knows the “copies” included a copy of the undertaking. Our statute specifically provides (section 3163, Rev. Code 1919) that “a copy [of the undertaking] must be served.” This party admitted that the attorney for respondent advised him, at the time of the alleged service, that he could not find any copy of the undertaking and asked to see the original which was then shown him. He swears that he told such attorney that he supposed a copy was among the papers, “but that if it was satisfactory to [said attorney] he could take the original undertaking and examine it so as to be certain that the undertaking was satisfactory and the sureties sufficient”; that such attorney then examined the original undertaking, and afterwards handed same back, saying 'he “guessed it was all right;” that he thought the attor
No admission of service was indorsed on the original undertaking. The burden was therefore on appellant to establish, by satisfactory evidence, either that service was actually made, or else waived. This appellant has failed to. do.
This ¡brings this case directly under the ruling of this court in Aldrich v. Public Opinion Publishing Co., 27 S. D. 589, 132 N. W. 278.
The cause will be stricken from our records.
