    JACKSON v. STATE.
    No. 19234.
    Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
    Dec. 15, 1937.
    T. L. Price, of Post, for appellant.
    Lloyd W. Davidson, State’s Atty., of Austin, for the State.
   CHRISTIAN,. Judge.

Conviction for a misdemeanor; punishment being assessed at a fine of $100 and confinement in jail for 60 days.

In drawing the complaint and information charging appellant with the sale of whisky in a dry area, the pleader apparently inadvertently omitted two essential aver-ments. It is not alleged that the commissioners’ court canvassed the election returns and declared the result. Again, it is not averred that the result had been published as required by the law in force at the time of the election. In Bearden v. State, 102 S.W.2d 204, this court used language as follows: “The information should have set out all of the facts accompanying and showing that in -fact a local option election had been held in Motley county under an order of the commissioners court, and in accordance with law; showing the result; showing that the votes had been canvassed; that the order had been, published, etc., as set out in Whitmire v. State, supra [130 Tex.Cr.R. 372, 94 S.W.2d 742].” See Whitmire v. State, 130 Tex.Cr.R. 372, 94 S.W.2d 742.

The judgment is reversed, and the prosecution ordered dismissed.

PER CURIAM.
