1Opinion of the CourtSpeer, J.
E. C. Purdie and wife obtained an order from the district judge in vacation, restraining the Stephenville, North & South Texas Railway Company, a railway corporation, from appropriating to its own use a strip of land 250 feet wide across a tract owned and occupied by the complainants as their homestead. Thereafter the respondents procured a dissolution in part of the restraining order, so that the same was not operative as to a strip 100 feet wide, being 50 feet on either side of the company’s proposed line of road. From this latter order, the complainants have appealed.
