On Motion for Rehearing.
We have carefully considered appellant’s motion for rehearing, and have concluded that it should be denied. We are also earnestly requested to certify to the Supreme Court, on the ground, as claimed, that our opinion affirming this case is in conflict with the holding of the Supreme Court in the case of Stevens v. Pedregón, 173 S'. W. 210. We respectfully decline to grant the request for two reasons:
First, because we do not think the opinion of the Supreme Court in the Stevens-Pedre-gon Case, considered in its entirety, is susceptible of the construction contended for by appellant. Our understanding of that opinion is stated in our opinion in the case of Brown v. Fisher, 193 S. W. 362.
The other reason is that the very question which appellant wants certified is now pend*671ing before tbe Supreme Court, and will be reached and decided, in all probability, before action of that court could be had on the question, if here certified.
