        "text": "Per Curiam.\nJudgment was rendered in the Garland Circuit Court on the 25th day of May, 1907, against M. A. Claiborne. The transcript was filed in this court on the 22d of May, 1908. An appeal was prayed and granted, and summons was issued and forwarded to the attorneys for appellant. That summons was never returned to the clerk\u2019s office, and was never served on the appellee or delivered to an officer to be served. An alias summons was issued on November 25, 1908, and was served on appellee on November 28, 1908. Appellee moves to dismiss the appeal.\nIn Robinson v. Ark. Loan & Trust Co., 72 Ark. 475, it was held that when an appeal is granted, and an authenticated copy of the record is filed in the appellate tribunal, the suit is thereby removed to the appellate court. That when it is filed the appellate court\u2019s jurisdiction of the subject-matter is complete, and no other act is required to be done which can aid in the accomplishment of this object. The notice or summons does not aid in the removal, but calls the attention of the appellee to the fact that it has been removed. \u201cThe appeal is complete, and the appellate court can dismiss it if the appellant neglects to cause the notice to answer it to be given in a reasonable time, or fails to prosecute it in anjr other way.\u201d\nIn this case the appellant\u2019s appeal was not lodged in this court until three days before the year expired in which he was authorized to take an appeal. The summons was immediately issued, but never 'served; and six months thereafter an alias summons was issued and served. The court does not think that this is a reasonable time to delay the service of summons. No explanation is offered as to why the summons was not earlier served.\nThe appeal is dismissed.",
