Ella Stafford, Appellee, v. H. E. Kimmel, Executor, Appellant.
    (Not to be reported in full.)
    Appeal from the Circuit Court of Perry county; the Hon. William E. Hadley, Judge, presiding. Heard in this court at the March term, 1914.
    Affirmed.
    Opinion filed July 28, 1914.
    
      Statement of the Case.
    Ella Stafford was allowed seven hundred and fifty dollars as a claim against the estate of Matthew Laxon, deceased, for services rendered deceased as a housekeeper and nurse. H. E. Kimmel, executor, prayed an appeal to the Circuit Court from the order of the County Court, allowing the claim. A transcript was filed and the case docketed in the Circuit Court where the claimant made a motion to dismiss the appeal for want of an appeal bond, and the motion was sustained and the appeal dismissed.
    The questions raised on this appeal are identical with those involved in the case of Stafford v. Kimmel, p. 281, ante, and the decision in that case held controlling.
    B. W. Pope, for appellant.
    George W. Dowell, for appellee.
   Mr. Presiding Justice Higbee

delivered the opinion of the court.
