Heading: It is our duty to correct our own order when found to be wrong. Montanick v. McMillin, 225 Iowa 442, 459, 280 N.W. 608.

Text: II. The only Iowa authority cited by plaintiffs in support of the sufficiency of their notice of appeal is Dugan v. Dugan, 129 Iowa 241, 105 N.W. 514. Plaintiffs quote from that case as follows: A notice of appeal will be liberally construed, and, if it is sufficiently definite for a reasonably certain identification of the judgment, order, or decision appealed from, it is good. (loc. cit. 243, 105 N.W. 515) The Dugan case was decided in 1906 under rules then in force but now superseded. We also note that in the case before us the order from which appeal was attempted was clearly and unmistakably identified. Unfortunately for plaintiffs it was not an appealable order. See Division V, infra.
