1Opinion of the CourtSmith, J.

Appeal from an -order overruling demurrer to complaint. Action against Roetzle & S-ohopf, copartners and retail dealers in intoxicating liquors in the city of Sioux Falls, and Western Surety Company, -bondsman, for damages resulting from unlawful sales of intoxicating liquors to- plaintiff’s 'husband. The -complaint is attacked on two grounds only: First, that it fails to show the defendant Western Surety Company to- be a legal entity. Second, that -the complaint fails to- show “conditions precedent to such bio-nd becoming- a valid obligation.”
