McKENZIE v. WINTERS et al.
    (No. 740.)
    (Court of Civil Appeals of Texas. El Paso.
    Nov. 21, 1917.)
    Appeal from District Court, Erath County; W. J. Oxford, Judge.
    .Suit by Eliza McKenzie against J. B. Winters and others. From a judgment of dismissal, plaintiff appeals.
    Cause reversed and remanded for trial on the merits.
    Hickman & Bateman and B. E. Cook, all of Stephenville, for appellant. Chandler & Pan-nill, of Stephenville, for appellees.
   HARPER, C. J.

This suit was brought by Eliza McKenzie against J. B. Winters, J. C. Hollingsworth, C. Henry and wife, Cora Henry, a direct proceeding to set aside a judgment .to cancel deed and remove cloud and for title to certain real estate. The trial court sustained a general demurrer to the petition and dismissed the suit.

The allegations of plaintiff’s petition are the •same in form and as to facts, except as to parties and land sued for, as is shown in her suit No. 729 (McKenzie v. Frey, 198 S. W. 1009), this day handed down by this court, and the contentions of the parties in their briefs are the same as in that case. So, for the reasons there assigned, the cause is reversed and remanded for trial upon its merits.

WALTHALL, J., not sitting, being absent on committee of judges assisting the Supreme Court.
