PHILLIPS, Chief Judge.
Earl C. Stoltz 1 brought this action against the Burlington Transportation Company 2 to recover damages in the amount of $25,000 for the alleged wrongful death of his son, Donald Earl Stoltz, a minor, while a passenger on a bus of the Burlington Company.
The accident occurred and Donald died as a result thereof in Utah.
The Burlington Company interposed a motion in which it set up that the laws of Utah on which the action was based were incompatible with the public policy of Colorado, as set forth in Colorado Statutes Annotated, 1935, Vol. 2, Chap. 50, §§ 2 and 3.
