Walker, J.

This cause must be dismissed for want of a proper citation in error.

But in this case the original petition avers that the defendants in error are residents of Harrison county. (Station was issued and directed to the sheriff of Dallas county, and returned by'him, “ defendants not found in this county.” This was not a compliance with the statute. (See Paschal’s Digest, Art. 1495, and note 587; 10 Texas B., 271.) The cause is dismissed.

Dismissed.
