Supreme Court of Iowa

1Opinion of the CourtGarfield, C. J.

Tbe question presented is whether tbe original notice served upon defendants is fatally defective and therefore conferred no jurisdiction. The trial court so held, sustained defendants’ special appearances and accordingly dismissed plaintiff’s petition. Plaintiff has appealed. We affirm the decision.

It seems best to set out here the original notice except for part of the statement of the cause of action. (The sufficiency of such statement is not challenged.)
