On September 24, 1907, E. H. Eiklor and II. E. Hopkins, partners as Eiklor & Hopkins, plaintiffs in error, sued David Badger, defendant in error, in the district court of Kingfisher county, to recover $200 commission alleged to have been earned by them in procuring for said Badger a purchaser ready, willing, and financially able to buy his farm, theretofore listed with them for sale. After answer filed, in effect a general denial, there was trial to a jury, and judgment for defendant. After motion for a new trial filed, and overruled, plaintiffs bring the ease here by petition in error and case-made.

Plaintiffs’ brief is assailed by motion to dismiss on the ground that the same fails to comply with rule 25 of this court (20 Okla. xii, 95 Pac. viii), in that, among other things, it fails to contain an assignment of error. We think the' motion good. The brief contains under head of “Statement of the Pleadings” a resume thereof, and under head of “The Evidence” the -substance thereof, consisting principally of questions and answers. Hnder the head of “Instructions” there is set forth the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth instructions given by the court, none of which are excepted to, except the sixth. Then follows “Conclusions of Law and Facts,” and, lastly, under the head of “Argument,” we find the only semblance of an assignment of error, in effect that the trial court erred in so instructing the jury, for the reason that the same was a misapplication of the law to plaintiffs’ alleged right of action “and contrary to the evidence in the ease.” Then follows an argument of something over a page, nowhere containing anything upon which we could predicate, or construe into, an assignment of error. This is too indefinite, and fails to comply with rule 25 of this court. For that reason, the motion to dismiss is sustained.

In passing, however, we desire 'to say that we have gone carefully into the testimonj', and, while it discloses that defendant in error authorized plaintiffs in parol to sell his farm in that county for $7,000, out of which they were to be paid a commission of $200, the testimony nowhere shows that they secured in the person of Blessing, or any one else, a purchaser ready, willing, and financially able to purchase the land upon any terms whatever.

For the reasons stated, the petition in error is dismissed.

All the Justices concur.
