   Opinion by

DEVEREUX, C.

The record in this case was filed in this court on the 10th day of March, 1913, and on June 1, 1914, the brief of the plaintiff in error was duly filed and served on the defendant in error. This-case was submitted on briefs on July 8, 1915. No briefs, have been filed for defendant in error, and no extension of time is asked, and no reason given for the failure to file the same. We have carefully examined the record, and the brief- of- plaintiff in ■ error, and they seem to ■ reasonably sustain its.contention;- The judgment will therer fore be reversed, and the. cause remanded.

We recommend that this judgment be reversed, and fhe cause remanded for a new trial.

By the Court: It is so ordered.
