1Opinion of the CourtLadd, J.
The defendant is a mutual assessment association, and on May 24, 1909, issued to plaintiffs a certificate of membership insuring their crops raised on land described against loss or damage by hail for a term of five crop seasons. On August 20, 1910, their corn was injured by a hailstorm to the extent, as the evidence tended to show, found by the jury. The particular defenses interposed were (1) that the certificate was suspended'at the time of the loss because of the nonpayment of an assessment; and (2) that notice and proofs of loss were not served as exacted by the contract.
