International Harvester Co. of America v. Police Jury of Red River Parish

HAMITER, Judge.

A chattel, mortgage note in the amount of $551.50, with interest and attorney’s fees, forms the basis of this suit.

In its petition, plaintiff alleges that the note was made and signed by the Polite Jury of Red River Parish, by Dr. L. S. Huckabay, and that it is the holder thereof. It further alleges that an act of chattel mortgage and a vendor’s lien, covering a certain McCormick-Deering tractor, secure the instrument. Judgment for the aforementioned amount, with recognition of the asserted chattel mortgage and vendor’s lien, is sought against the alleged maker.
