SYLLABUS

¶0 APPEAL--Dismissed. Where all of the parties to an action pending in the supreme court on appeal from an inferior court, before the questions presented by the appeal are determined by the appellate court, compromise and settle all of the matters involved therein, and such fact is made to appear to the supreme court by affidavits and certified copies of official records, all of which are undisputed by the appellant, the appeal will be dismissed.

Error from the District Court of Pawnee County; before A. G. C. Bierer, District Judge.

Actions between Benjamin Price and others and J. F. Johnson and others and John N. Florer and others and the board of county commissioners of Pawnee county and others. From the judgments, Price and others bring error. Dismissed.

Asp, Shartel & Cottingham, for plaintiffs in error.
C. A. Houston and Eagleton & Morphis, for defendants in error.

BURWELL, J.:

¶1 The above-entitled cases, although separate and distinct from each other, involve the same question of practice, and we will therefore dispose of them all together.

¶2 Since the plaintiffs in error filed their appeals in this court, the matters involved in each of the above-entitled cases have been fully settled and compromised, as shown by affidavits of the defendants in error filed in this court in support of their respective motions to dismiss the appeals, which affidavits are undenied by the plaintiffs in error. This being true, the court will not consider any of the questions therein, and each of the above cases should be dismissed, at the cost of the appellants. It is so ordered.

¶3 All of the Justices concurring.
