TOLBERT v. STATE.
    (No. 5130.)
    (Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
    Oct. 23, 1918.)
    Labceny <®^30(1) — Indictment—Description of Pboperty.
    Description of property in indictment for theft as “one bale of seed cotton, of the value of $100,” is sufficiently specific.
    Appeal from District Court, Wood County; J. R. Warren, Judge.
    Bruce Tolbert was convicted of theft, and appeals.
    Affirmed.
    E. B. Hendricks, Asst. Atty. Gen., for the State.
   MORROW, J.

Appellant was convicted of theft of property over the value of $50, and his punishment assessed at two years’ confinement in the penitentiary.

The only question raised on the record relates to the sufficiency of the indictment, which is challenged on the ground that it is' not sufficiently specific in describing the property, which is alleged in the indictment to have been “one bale of seed cotton, of the value of $100.” We think the allegation is sufficient. See Bell v. State (No. 5129) 205 S. W. 986, this day decided.

The judgment of the lower court is affirmed.
