This is an appeal from a judgment for compensation of loss by fire which judgment was rendered pursuant to the terms of an insurance policy. It is claimed liability under this policy was waived by the insured by failure on his part to supply the company with sworn proof of loss as required by the contract.
The plaintiff Western owned a store building, together with fixtures and stock of merchandise at Ceres. The merchandise was subject to a chattel mortgage to secure the loan of $2,000 which was held by the plaintiff Francis.
