On Further Hearing.
Immediately following the handing down of the opinion in this cause appellant applied to the Supreme Court for a writ of mandamus. On October 15, 1938, this Court was served by telegraph with the following order of the Supreme Court: “The Court of Civil Appeals and the Justices thereof are instructed to set aside its order heretofore entered in cause'No. 3812 in said court, relating to this matter, which order dismisses the appeal in said cause. The Court of Civil Appeals and the Justices thereof are further ordered in Cause No. 3812 to reverse and set aside the order of the District Court of Upton County, Texas, relating to this election contest. The Court of Civil Appeals and the Justices thereof *423are further ordered and instructed in cause No. 3812 to dismiss said entire cause before it, including the election contest, so as to leave said contest as though it had never been filed. An opinion in this cause will be filed later. No motion for rehearing will be entertained in this cause, and-the judgment of this Court shall become effective forthwith. This mandamus will issue at once and be served by telegram.”
Complying with the mandate of the Supreme Court, it is, therefore, ordered that the judgment heretofore rendered in this court be set aside and held for naught; that the judgment of the District Court of Upton County relating to said election contest is reversed and set aside and the entire cause, including the election contest, is dismissed, leaving said contest as though it had never been filed.
