"That they were again married in the City of Stockton, California, on the 26th day of January, A.D. 1954."
Having no information contrary to said affidavit, it is hereby ordered that the appeal to this Court be and is, dismissed, and the cause is remanded to the District Court of Polk County, Iowa, for further disposition, and the determination of the care, custody and control of said minor children.
Appeal dismissed and cause remanded.
