Union Credit Co. 76 Minn. 84, 78 N.W. 967, 79 N.W. 673; Keating v. Prudential Cas. Co. 140 Minn. 391, 168 N.W. 178; N.W. Detective Agency, Inc. v. 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. Brien, 184 Iowa, 320, 167 N.W. 584, 3 A.L.R. 1585; Moore Munger Co. v. Motor Trades Pub. Co. 170 App. Div. 779, 155 N.Y. S. 929; Hynds v. Fourteenth St. Store, 159 App. Div. 766, 144 N.Y. 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.
