Appeal from circuit court, Juneau county.
This action was brought in justice court for the breach of an alleged warranty on the sale of a reaper.

Defendant testified, among other things, as stated by his counsel: The circuit court found that the fact of a warranty was established by a clear and even a preponderance of testimony, and that the plaintiff was entitled to recover some damages at least, and thereupon ordered and adjudged that the judgment of the justice court be reversed, and that the plaintiff have judgment against the defendant for costs of the action, and judgment was accordingly entered, from which the defendant brings this appeal.
