This action was commenced in the district court of Pontotoc county, Okla., by the Eureka Fire Hose Manufacturing Company, as plaintiff, against the Incorporated Town of Stonewall, as defendant, to recover on a contract for goods, wares, and merchandise sold by the plaintiff to the defendant. Issues were joined and the cause submitted to the court on an agreed statement of facts, which resulted in a judgment in favor of the defendant and against the plaintiff. The plaintiff saved •all necessary exceptions; gave notice of appeal and appears here as plaintiff in error, but for convenience the parties will be referred t,o as they appeared in the lower court.

This case was set for submission on the regular printed docket of this court for Tuesday, April 18, 1922. On March 7, 1922, on application of the plaintiff, it was given 20 days in which to file a brief and the defendant given 20 days from the service of plaintiff’s brief to answer. On April 18, 1922, when the case was reached on the call of the docket, i't was submitted on briefs to be filed. ■ The plaintiff failed to file its brief, and on May 12, 1922, the defendant filed a motion to dismiss the appeal because the plaintiff had failed to comply with rule No. 7 of this court (47 Okla. vij. This rule is set out in full in Re Seizure One Chevrolet, Baby Grand Auto v. State of Oklahoma, 82 Okla. 202, 200 Pac. 144.
