Supreme Court of Wisconsin.

For the respondent there was a brief by Shaw, Muskat & Paulsen, attorneys, and F. H. Prosser and John F. Zimmermann of counsel, all of Milwaukee, and oral argument by Mr. Zimmermann and Mr. Prosser.


FAIRCHILD, C. J.

The contract entered into by appellant with respondent provides certain conditions under which liability was to attach to respondent but which relieved respondent from liability in the event of failure by appellant to comply with the terms of the condition.

The insurance contract was not an absolute one, and the conditions imposed and agreed to were conditions precedent which must be met before either party became bound by the contract.
