Judgment, was for the plaintiff, from which the defendant has appealed.

This case presents the same questions that were presented and) determined in the Salyer Case, supra, and, on the author-i ity of that case, the judgment of the trial court in the instant case is reversed, and the cause remanded with directions to dismiss plaintiff’s action.

By the Court; It is so ordered.
