   Opinion by

RITTENHOUSE, C.

This appeal was filed in this court April 16, 1912. Neither party has filed a brief, nor have they offered any excuse for the failure to do so. It is evidence that the proceedings have been abandoned. The appeal should, therefore, be dismissed for want of prosecution under rule 7 of this court (38 Okla. vi, 137 Pac. ix). Crone v. Duncan et al., 36 Olcla. 517, 129 Pac. 711; Nicholson v. Barnes 42 Okla. 250, 140 Pac. 1155.

By the Court: It is so ordered.
