¶1The evidence of the defendant clearly and unmistakably shows that the services sued for were rendered under a contract to work for three months, and that, before the end of such term, plaintiff quit work without any excuse. This evidence is not contradicted by plaintiff, and there is no reason suggested by the record for disregarding it. Upon it the judgment ought to have been for defendant.
¶2Order reversed, and new trial ordered.
