   PER CURIAM.

The objection that the district court was without jurisdiction was never presented to the trial judge for his consideration. Failure to do so is fatal to the petition for writ of prohibition, here. State ex rel. Spriggs v. District Court of Seventh Judicial District In and For Fremont County, 1956, 76 Wyo. 128, 301 P.2d 550

The alternative writ of prohibition is vacated and a permanent writ of prohibition denied.

THOMAS and ROSE, JJ., did not participate.
