Supreme Court of Louisiana
Appeal from Fifth Judicial District Court, Parish of Winn; George Wear, Judge. Action by William H. Devons against the Lee Logging 'Company. Judgment for defendant, and plaintiff appeals.
1Opinion of the CourtBreaux, C. J.
The district court sustained defendant’s exception, and dismissed plaintiff’s suit for want of jurisdiction.
An appeal was taken from the action of the court dismissing the suit.
The jurisdiction, ratione persona vel non, is the only question on appeal.
The action is one sounding in damages.

The wagons, team, and appliances were owned by defendant.
