Appellant brought this action to recover from respondents $206.70, alleged to have been paid to respondents for a carload of shingles which were not delivered to appellant. The respondents admitted the receipt of the money, but denied that the shingles were not delivered to appellant. The case was tried to a court without a jury. The only question in the case was whether the shingles were delivered to appellant. The trial court found that they were delivered, and entered a judgment of dismissal.

It appears that respondents had been selling shingles to appellant for some time, and delivering the same on cars of the Northern Pacific Railway Company at Falls City, Washington ; that when a car was loaded at that place, an invoice thereof would be mailed to appellant’s agent at Seattle. By *175reason of the fact that the railway company had no agent at Falls City, a bill of lading was issued by the railway agent at Preston, about five miles distant from Falls City, and a copy of the bill of lading was usually mailed by the railway agent to the appellant at Seattle, as consignor. Upon receipt of the invoice, the appellant would pay the purchase price of the shingles to respondents. There was an understanding between the appellant and respondents that one thousand shingles should have a fixed weight. If the actual weight were more than the fixed weight, the respondents would deduct from the price of the shingles the freight on the excess weight to the points where appellant destined the shingles. If the actual weight were less, the appellant would pay respondents the amount saved thereby on freight.

On March 24, 1905, at appellant’s order, respondents loaded Northern Pacific car No. 2268 at Falls City, and directed the same by order of appellant to be shipped to Alliance, Nebraska, and requested the railway agent at Preston to send a copy of the bill of lading to appellant at Seattle. Respondents at the same time sent an invbice to the appellant at Seattle, whereupon appellant paid to respondents $206.70, the purchase price of the shingles. The railway agent at Preston by some mistake did not send the bill of lading to appellant. Appellant, however, assumed control of the car and, while the same was'en route to Alliance, Nebraska, diverted the shipment to Endarka, Oklahoma. For some reason which does not clearly appear, the carload of shingles was lost to appellant. This action was brought to recover back from respondents the $206 paid for the shingles.

There is a direct conflict in the evidence as to whether the contract was for delivery on board the cars at Falls City, or at the point of destination of the car. Appellant argues, because the freight was subject to adjustment after the arrival of the car at its destination, that this fact shows that delivery was to be made at the point of destination of the car; but we *176think this fact does not have the effect claimed for it. It is not claimed that respondents agreed to pay any part of 'the freight if the shingles weighed the fixed Aveight. If they weighed more than the fixed weight, respondents were to pay freight for the excess Aveight only. If the shingles Aveighed less, appellant Avas to pay to respondents the difference in the freight charges. This amounted simply to a guaranty of weight, nothing more, and did not, and was not intended to, fix the place of delivery. It is not claimed that this particular car Aveighed more or less than the guaranteed Aveight, or that the respondents had any control of the car or the' shipment after the shingles were loaded on the car of the railway company. We are satisfied from an examination of all the evidence, which need not be stated here, that the contract was for delivery at Falls City, and that the trial court properly found that fact.

The judgment should therefore be affirmed.
