Story v. American Central Insurance

—The action is brought on a fire insurance policy for $400, issued by the defendant to George Story on certain personal property owned by him at the date of the contract. The plaintiffs are George Story and David B. Wallace. The trial court rendered judgment in favor of plaintiffs for the full amount of the policy with damages for vexatious delay, the defendant not appearing. The defendant thereupon sued out this writ of error, and now assigns for error that the court never acquired any jurisdiction of its person and that the petition states no cause of action warranting the judgment rendered.
