1Opinion of the CourtMitchell, J.
This action was brought by plaintiff to recover for his services as an attorney at law in a suit brought by the defendant against the Great Northern Railway Company to recover damages for its failure to fence its road through defendant’s farm. The complaint is so drawn as to admit of a recovery either under a written contract between plaintiff and defendant, executed .May 14, 1896, or, that failing, upon a quantum meruit. The written contract was, in all its material provisions, substantially the same as the one considered by this court in Huber v. Johnson, 68 Minn. 74, 70 N. W. 806.
