1. An affidavit cannot be made by proxy, but the affiant must do his own swearing. Therefore, what purported to be a claim affidavit with the name of the claimant subscribed thereto, was properly treated as no affidavit at all, it appearing that his name was signed by another in his absence and without his knowledge, and that he never had in fact deposed to the contents of the affidavit.

2. In the present case there was no contention that the person who actually signed the claimant’s name to the affidavit was endeavoring to act as his agent in filing the claim, or attempting to make the claim affidavit as such agent.

Judfpncnt affirmed.
