Noon v. Gem Irr. Dist.
District Court, D. Idaho
At Law. Action by Ethel M. Noon against the Gem Irrigation District. On demurrer to complaint.
1Opinion of the Court
DIETRICH, District Judge.
The plaintiff alleges that through defendant’s carelessness in failing to install lightning arresters in a private telephone system, which it maintains for its own' convenience, she sustained personal injuries due to a severe electric shock, and she prays for $10,000 damages. By its demurrer the defendant objects that the complaint fails to state a-cause of action; its argument being that, inasmuch as it is a “quasi municipal corporation,” it cannot be held legally responsible for the negligence of its officers.
