Mang v. Eliasson

An appeal by defendants from a jury verdict and judgment for plaintiff in the amount of $10,174.98 in the district court of Musselshell County, Montana. Plaintiff brought the action to recover damages for a reduced yield of dryland alfalfa seed allegedly caused in 1967 by the negligence of defendants in allowing weeds from defendants field to blow across fields of the plaintiff during a windstorm. Defendants answered denying any negligence, defending on the basis that damages sustained by plaintiff, if any, were not the proximate cause of plaintiffs injuries.
