Winona Hotel Co. 147 Minn. 203, 179 N.W. 1001; 4 Dunnell, Minn. Dig. (2 ed.) ยงยง 5501 and 5517, and cases cited; also see Turner v.

S. 1030; 36 C.J. 1191 (note 7), 1192 (note 20); 37 C.J. 22, et seq. We reach the conclusion that the complaint was not demurrable. There should be a trial on the merits, after a proper defensive answer has been interposed and replied to if necessary; plaintiff should recover suitable damages if he proves that he has suffered any.
