1Opinion of the CourtPuller, J.

Although this case was placed upon the April, 1902, calendar, and assigned for argument at that term, no abstracts or briefs have ever been filed. According to the settled practice of this court, it is presumed that there are no questions upon which a decision is desired. Benedict v. Smith 10 S. D. 35, 71 N. W. 139; Giles et al. v. Hawkeye Gold Mining Co. et al., 11 S. D. 222, 76 N. W. 928. In the absence of anything within our reach pertaining to the merits, the appeal is dismissed.
