On Appellee’s Motion for Rehearing and to Dismiss Appeal.
Appellee suggests that the appeal should be dismissed because the appeal bond filed by appellant was made payable to appellee, Vogt, only, and was not made payable to the Jackson County State Bank, A. B. Bowers, J..O. Jetton, J. R. Gregory, and R. V. Tipton. We overrule this contention. The parties named are in the position of mere stakeholders in this controversy, which is between appellant, Hagist and appellee, Vogt. They are in possession of certain funds, the disposition of which depends wholly upon the outcome of the dispute between Hagist and Vogt. The funds are intact, and the parties named tender them for payment over to Hagist or Vogt, as may be directed by the court. They claim no interest in these funds. They assert no interest as against either of the principals in the litigation, and neither of the latter assert any interest adverse to those claimed by the parties named. That being their status, they are hot deemed necessary parties to the appeal, and it was not necessary that they be named as payees in the appeal bond.
Overruled.
