See Head v. State, 141 S. W. 536, decided at the present term of the court. It properly alleges the date of the election, which confers jurisdiction upon the district court. The law changing the punishment from misdemeanor to felony became operative in Bowie county by reason of the date of the election set out in the indictment.
The record contains neither statement of facts, nor hills of exception.
The judgment is affirmed.
