Supreme Court of Minnesota June 9, 1885 (Slocum v. Minneapolis Millers' Ass'n)

Mitchell, J.1

The plaintiff sued for the value of storage of defendant’s grain. The answer denied plaintiff’s cause of action, and set up a counterclaim, which was put in issue by the reply. When plaintiff rested, the court, on motion of defendant, dismissed the case on the ground that plaintiff had failed to prove a cause of action. An extended discussion of the evidence would be without value.
