Dean, J.
Mary Esther Compton, as executrix of the estate of her deceased husband, Arthur D.

Elkhorn Valley Drainage District, ante, p. 299, decided herewith. The decision in that case reversing the judg ment is controlling here. It follows that the judgment allowing the writ of mandamus in the present action must be and it hereby is reversed, with directions that the action be dismissed.
Reversed.
