    No. 19669.
    Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
    April 27, 1938.
    Oswalt & Oswalt, of Crowell, for appellant.

   CHRISTIAN, Judge.

The offense is possession of intoxicating liquor in a dry area for the purpose of sale; the punishment, a fine of $250.

There is no evidence m the record m support of the averments in the complaint and information that a local option election had been held in Foard county; that said election had resulted in' the prohibition of the sale of intoxicating liquor; and that the result had been duly declared and published by the commissioners’ court. Appellant’s contention that, in the absence of such proof, the evidence is insufficient, must be sustained. Gribble v. State, Tex.Cr.App., 111 S.W.2d 276, and authorities cited.

The judgment is reversed and the cause remanded.
