Syllabus

<p>1. Pleading (§ 212*) — Demurrer—Waiver.</p> <p>An answer filed to a complaint waives defendant’s right to demur.</p> <p>[Ed. Note. — For other cases, see Pleading, Cent. Dig. §§ 521, 522; Dec. Dig. § 212.*]</p> <p>2. Trade-Marks and Trade-Names (§ 92*) — Unlawful Competition.</p> <p>A bill for unlawful competition in the use of complainant’s trade-name and good will in the sale of root beer syrup was not demurrable for failure to allege the amount and value of the syrup fraudulently used by defendant, the names of defendant’s agents, or of the parties buying the same; nor was the bill not sufficiently specific because it only alleged that defendant’s use of the fraudulent syrup occurred on “divers days and at divers places” within the jurisdiction of the court.</p> <p>[Ed. Note. — For other cases, see Trade-Marks and Trade-Names, Cent. Dig. § 102; Dec. Dig. § 92.*]</p>
