    Appeal and Error — Injunction—Act Committed — Appeal Dismissed.

   Pee Cueiam.

It ba.s been properly brought to the attention of the Court that since the pendency of this appeal here an election under the statute for the purpose of determining whether the county shall continue a public fence has been held, and that the proposition failed to carry. There is nothing now before the Court to determine. To issue an injunction under the circumstances would be futile.

The appeal is dismissed.
