1Opinion of the CourtBoyce, J.
This suit was brought by appellant Mrs. M. B. Choice against the City of Dallas to recover a reward offered by the city “for the arrest and conviction of any one guilty of arson within the corporate limits of the city of Dallas.” A. E. Firmin and wife, Mrs. Nellie Firman, were made defendants on allegations that they were claiming the reward. These parties appeared, and by cross-bill sought to recover the reward. The court sustained general and special exceptions urged by the city to the plaintiff’s petition and the cross-bill of Mrs. Firmin, and this appeal complains of this action.
