Earl Campbell v. The State.
    No. 18821.
    Delivered February 24, 1937.
    The opinion states the case.
    
      Shropshire & Sanders, of Brady, for appellant.
    
      Lloyd W. Davidson, State’s Attorney, of Austin, for the State.
   LATTIMORE, Judge.

— Conviction for violating the liquor law; punishment, a fine of $100.00.

Appellant was charged with selling to J. M. Allison whisky in Brown County, Texas, the same being a dry area. Nothing in the complaint or information shows when and how, or in what manner Brown County became a dry area. The complaint and information are insufficient. See Whitmire v. State, 94 S. W. (2d) 742; Schmidt v. State, 94 S. W. (2d) 743.

The judgment is reversed and the prosecution ordered dismissed.

Reversed and prosecution ordered dismissed.
