Page &\u201eCo. recovered judgments against them, and sued out executions, which the sheriff, to whom they were directed, levied upon a stock of groceries in Hope, in this state, as the property of W. L. Page. His .wife, Emma E. Page, claimed the goods; and P.. A. Tharp, W. \u00c1. Ehodes and Carl & Tobey Company executed five several bonds to the sheriff, by which they undertook to indemnify him \u2018against all damages which he may sustain in consequence of the seizure or sale of the groceries under execution; also to pay any claimant of the said goods the damages he may sustain in consequence of such seizure or sale.\u2019 After this he sold the property under the executions, and Mrs. Page .then brought this suit on the bonds to recover its value, which she alleged to be $863.29, and the defendants denied her ownership.\u2019\u2019 She recovered judgment. The defendants appealed to this court. The judgment was reversed, and the cause was remanded for a new trial. Tharp v. Page, 66 Ark. 229.\nDuring the pendency of this action Mrs. Page died, leaving a last will and testament, in which she appointed W. L. Page, her husband, executor. The action was revived in his name as such executor. The mandate of this court in this case was filed in the trial court on the 4th of April, 1899. On the 18th of the same month Jessie Page, over the objection of the defendants, was substituted as plaintiff for W. L. Page, as executor, and the action was ordered to proceed as Jessie Page, plaintiff,-v. P. A. Tharp et al., defendants. No reason is given or shown in the record for such substitution, except that Jessie Page \u201cis the benficiary under the last will and testament of Emma E. Page, deceased.\u201d After this the defendants demurred to the complaint, because it does not state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action, and Jessie Page has no legal right to prosecute this action. The - demurrer was overruled, Jessie Page recovered judgment, and the defendants again appealed.\nAs a general rule, actions like this should be revived and prosecuted in the name of the executor or administrator of the deceased plaintiff. There are exceptions to this rule, but there is no presumption, and it is not shown, that this action falls withirmthe exceptions. Sanders v. Moore, 52 Ark. 376; Graves v. Pinchback, 47 Ark. 470; Crane v. Crane, 51 Ark. 287; State Bank v. Williams, 6 Ark. 156, cited by appellee, do not sustain the action of the court.\nJessie Page consequently had no right to prosecute this action, or to recover judgment therein.\nEeversed and remanded for new trial.\nHughes, J., absent.",
