This action was commenced in the district court -of Osage county by W. H. Aaron and G. W. Goss against Eves Tall Chief to recover for medical services rendered in caring for ‘the wife of said -defendant. A portion of the bill included an operation for appendicitis which was xierformed by Dr. Houser, at Tulsa, and xilaintiffs; the plaintiffs having -employed Dr. I-Iouser. Defendant filed an answer and cross-petition alleging that he w.as absent at the time of the operation and that his wife was only sixteen years of age and was pregnant, and the operation should not have been performed, and asks for damages in the sum of $5,000.

The court sustained a demurrer -to the evidence of the defendant to support his cross-petition, and instructed the jury to- return a verdict for the plaintiffs for the reasonable value of the services rendered. The jury returned a verdict for $369, with interest from May 12, 1916.

For reversal plaintiff in error first, complains that the court -erred in not -ordering Dr. Houser ‘to be made a party plaintiff to said proceedings. This question was. not raised by defendant’s pleadings in the court: below, therefore was waived, and same cannot be raised either in a motion for a new *231 trial or in this court.’ Choctaw, O. & G. Ry. v. Burgess, 21 Okla. 653, 97 Pac. 271.

The nest error complained of is the court erred in sustaining a demurrer to the evidence offered by defendant in support of defendant’s counterclaim and cross-petition. The plaintiff in error fails to set out in his brief any evidence that was offered to support his counterclaim. An examination of the entire record, however, discloses there was no evidence introduced to support the same. There being no evidence in the record that would support a judgment upon the counterclaim, it was not error for the court to sustain the demurrer to the same. See Supreme Tribe of Ben Hur v. Owens, 50 Okla. 629, 151 Pac. 198 ; Cockrell v. Schmidt, 20 Okla. 207, 94 Pac. 521 ; Cooper v. Fleshner, 24 Okla. 47 103 Pac. 1016 : Phinnie v. Atkinson, 72 Oklahoma, 177 Pac. 111.

The third error complained of is the court erred in instructing the jury to return a verdict for the reasonable value of the services rendered. ' An examination of the evidence discloses practically no controversy in the evidence. The services were performed at the request of the defendant, or at least the defendant admitted advising the doctor to look after his wife and do whatever was necessary, and in compliance with the request the operation was successfully performed. There was no question of fact to be submitted to the jury except the question of 1 he reasonable- value of the services.

It is, next contended the court erred . in advising the jury to allow interest. We think there was no error in this.

The sixth error complained of is the court erred in refusing ;to allow the defendant to offer competent and material testimony. Mrs. Tall 'Chief was produced as a witness by the defendant and an objection was made to her testifying for the reason she was the wife of the defendant and was incompetent, which objection was sustained by the court. The defendant failed to aver what he expected to prove by this witness and under the rule announced by this court in the'cases of Ford v. Perry, 66 Okla. 150, 168 Pac. 221. White v. State, 50 Okla. 97, 150 Pac. 716. the error, if any. was waived.

It is assigned as error that the evidence was insufficient to support the verdict. It is sufficient to say there is no merit in this contention.

The tenth specification is, the court erred in refusing to give special instructions offered by the defendant. These instructions might have been competent if there had been any evidence in the record justifying the same. Firebaugh v. DuBois, 70 Oklahoma,

There are other assignments of error but disposing of the ones in question makes the others immaterial. Motion is made for judgment on the supersedeas bond, and judgment is rendered against H. H. Brenner, surety on the supersedeas .bond, for $369, with six per cent, interest from May 12, 1916, and costs amounting to $59.90, and costs in this court.

For the reasons stated, the judgment is affirmed.
