On September 30, 1912, Elizabeth B. Theimer, as guardian of Louis M. Theimer and others, minors, obtained an order from the county court of Oklahoma county to sell certain real estate belonging to such minors on and after October 26, 1912. Pursuant to such order sale was made, the report thereof filed with the county court, and on the 6th day of November, 1912, the same was confirmed. On January 2, 1913, plaintiff in error, H. C. Rice, filed in the county court of Oklahoma county a petition to set aside the order confirming the sale of said real estate. Thereafter Elizabeth B. Theimer, guardian, filed in the county court a motion to strike said petition from the files, which motion was, by the judge of the county court, sustained, to, which ruling, order, and judgment the plaintiff in error, H. C. Rice, duly excepted and appealed to this court for relief from the alleged errors in such proceeding, and the defendants in error have filed a motion to dismiss said appeal.
