    Opinion Filed May 2, 1916.
    (157 Pac. 351.)

      C. B. Harrold and W. B. Ciarle, for defendant in error.
   Opinion by

EITTENHOUSE, C.

This cause was brought to restrain the city of Ponca City, Okla., from making certain street improvements. A trial was had' upon a stipulation, admitting the allegations of the petition, and resulted in a judgment for the city. The petition in error contained the following alleged assignment' of error:

“The said court erred in making an order denying plaintiff in error’s application for a temporary restraining order.”

There is nothing in this alleged assignment of error from which the court can ascertain wherein the trial .court committed error. It is too general and indefinite to present any question to this court for review. Standard Stone Co. v. Greer et al., 52 Okla. 595, 153 Pac. 640; Willet v. Johnson, 13 Okla. 563, 76 Pac. 174; Turner v. First Nat. Bank, 40 Okla. 498, 139 Pac. 703; Jones v. Lee, 43 Okla. 257, 142 Pac. 996; Johnson v. Johnson, 43 Okla. 582, 143 Pac. 670.

The judgment of the trial court should be affirmed.

By the Court: It is so ordered.
