Southwestern Public Service Co. et al., 37 N.M. 139, 19 P.2d 747, and cases cited. See also Mumford v. State Highway Commission, 35 N.M. 404, 1 P.2d 115; Bearup v. Peru Min. Co., 38 N.M. 531, 37 P.2d 535.\nThe judgment of the District Court is therefore affirmed, and the cause remanded.\nIt is so ordered.\nBRICE, ZINN, SADLER, and MA-BRY, JJ., concur.",
