These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Appeals to the supreme court shall be taken by notice filed with the clerk of the trial court ... A copy of such notice must be personally served on all adverse parties ... or, if such service cannot be made within the state, service may be made by a notice, properly addressed to such persons or their attorneys of record at their places of residence, deposited ih the mail, if their places of residence are known. Proof of such service shall be made by affidavit, and in case the residence of the party and his attorney is not known, an affidavit of the appellant or his attorney may be attached to the notice filed with the clerk, stating that the residence of such , party and his attorney is unknown, and that the appellant is unable to ascertain the same; . . .””
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority““In Taylor v. Woodbury, ante, p. 236, 120 Pac. 367 , notice of a motion to open a judgment was sent by registered mail to the attorney of record whose signature on the return card acknowledged its receipt, and this was held to be prima jade proof of service. It was said: 'We think that service of a motion made in this way is not objectionable and ought to be upheld; it is a substantial compliance with all the requirements of the code and furnishes its own proof of the fact and character of service.’ (p. 237.) But we have no similar showing here. The fact that duplicates were mailed to the appellee and his attorney of record is proof that they were started on their journey but not that they were personally served.” (p. 791.)”
