Colorado Court of Appeals September 15, 1891 (Hockaday v. Goodwin)

Reed, J.

This was an action of replevin brought by appellant for the possession of two horses and a wagon. Plaintiff’s right to recover was based upon a chattel mortgage executed by one William F. Gardner on the 29th day of November, 1887. Gardner was in possession of the property at the time by virtue of a purchase alleged to have been previously made from one F. Tibbetts.
