1Opinion of the Court
RAINEY, Chief Justice.
Appellee sued to recover of the appellant damages for the failure to deliver to him a message announcing the serious illness of his mother, which proved fatal.
The message was received by appellant at Clarendon, Ark., for transmission and delivery at Honey Grove, Texas, to appellee. Appellant plead the general issue, and specially, among other things, that the contract was made in and governed by the laws of Arkansas; that no recovery should be had under the laws of said state, and therefore no recovery could be had in this State. Appellee recovered; hence this appeal.
