PER CURIAM. This action was brought by J. H. Ginden to obtain a deed to lots 40 and 41 in block 23 in the original town site of Oklahoma City. The city sold the property to Abe Herskowitz. At a trial judgment was rendered for defendant, and plaintiff appeals. After the appeal was lodged in this court plaintiff applied for a supersedeas bond, which was denied. On February 20, 1945, after the appeal was lodged in this court on February 12, 1945, the defendant deeded the property to Abe Herskowitz.
