The case involves the plaintiff, McCollum, who was awarded a judgment for services rendered and travel expenses incurred in securing buyers and bidders on certain machinery and equipment sold for the defendant's benefit. The defendant, Dr. Clothier, challenges the judgment on the grounds of lack of evidence and being misled by the trial court. The plaintiff argues that an implied contract obligates the defendant to pay for the services rendered, while the defendant claims that the plaintiff's activities were officious and without any promise of payment. The plaintiff prevailed, and the defendant is obligated to pay for the services rendered. Relevant facts include the plaintiff's work in lining up buyers for the defendant's equipment, resulting in higher prices and more money than anticipated from the sale.
