1Opinion of the CourtMount, J.

— This action was brought to restrain the respondent from using the name “St. Francis” for his hotel, and for damages. The cause was tried to the court without a jury. Before the trial it appeared that the appellants had purchased the interest of the original plaintiffs, and the appellants were therefore substituted as plaintiffs. At the trial the substituted plaintiffs waived all damages prior to their purchase. Thereafter the evidence w-as all submitted, the court made findings of fact, and dismissed the action. The plaintiffs appeal.

The facts as found by the trial court are as follows:
