Bacon v. St. Paul Union Stockyards Co.

Bacon (plaintiff) worked for Drover Livestock Commission and, as part of that job, dealt with St. Paul Union Stockyards Co. (defendant). Bacon alleged that St. Paul wrongfully, willfully, and unlawfully excluded him from its stockyards, preventing him from carrying out his job duties for Drover. Bacon sued for tortious interference with his employment relationship, but the trial court sustained St. Paul's demurrer, effectively dismissing the case without reaching the facts. Bacon appealed.
