Dyer, May 18, 1907.”

It appears from the petition filed in support of the rule, that the above-entitled cause was docketed in this court at its May term, 1907; that no service of process was made or attempted to be made upon the defendant, except in the manner shown by the return indorsed thereon, as follows: “Service accepted.” [Signature of Attorney], “Attorney for William E. Dyer, May 18th, 1907;” that judgment was moved for and entered for want of an affidavit of defense and execution on the judgment thereafter issued.
