This is a proceeding in mandamus on the relation of W. H. Gray, receiver of the National Bank of Guthrie, toβ require the respondent, W. S.

The Territory of Oklahoma ex rel. W. H. Gray, decided by this court at this term (p. 188, this volume). The facts being substantially the same in each case, and the questions of law arising upon the records in both cases being identical, the conclusion of the court in that case must govern as to this.
The judgment of the court below, in this cause, is reversed and the case remanded to the court below, with instructions to proceed in accordance with the views expressed in the opinion in the other case.
