Neither party has filed a brief, nor have they offered any excuse for the failure to do so. It is evident that the proceedings have been abandoned. The judgment of the trial court should, therefore, be affirmed, under rule 7 of this court (38 Okla. vi, 137 P. ix). Nicholson v. Barnes, 42 Okla. 250, 140 P. 1155.
