The decision in that ease is controlling here, and upon that authority we hold that the defendant here is not liable. The judgment of the trial court is therefore reversed and the cause remanded, with directions to dismiss. , BAYLESS, Y. C. J., and PHELPS, CORN, GIBSON, HURST, and DAVISON, JJ., concur. OSBQRN. C.
