Case ruled by Slabosheske v. Chikowske, ante, p. 144.


The issues of this action are identical to those of Slabosheske v. Chikowske, ante, p. 144, 77 N.W.2d 497. The face of the note is $1,000. The lender and plaintiff is Gust Renn. The judgment was for principal, interest, and statutory costs and disbursements without attorney's fees. The opinion in the Slabosheske Case determines this appeal.
