Herein W. C. Foster prosecutes error from tbe district sourt of Tulsa county, Obla. Tbe defendant in error, Loren Conaway, will be referred to as tbe plaintiff, and tbe plaintiff in error, W. C. Foster, will be referred to as tbe defendant. Tbe plaintiff sued in ejectment. The relief prayed was both possession and to quiet title to a certain tract of real estate in tbe city of Tulsa. Tbe affirmative action in quieting title on tbe prayer of tbe petition involved tbe cancellation of a tax deed made on resale. The suit was not only against tbe defendant, but others, who bad or claimed to have an interest in tbe realty. The defendant Foster was a nonresident. Service was had upon him by publication, and mailing notice and copy of petition as provided by tbe statute. Responding to such service, tbe defendant Foster filed an instrument in tbe cause which is nothing other than a disclaimer of any interest in tbe property. The petition neither pleaded nor prayed for any relief against tbe defendant Foster or any of tbe other defendants for rents or damage for tbe detention of said real property. During the course of the trial tbe plaintiff asked and received permission to amend his petition so as to pray for a judgment in the sum of $306.67 as rental on tbe property involved, and tbe cause proceeded on the petition as amended. No notice was served upon tbe defendant, but tbe trial proceeded, and judgment was rendered accordingly. Shortly thereafter, and within tbe term, the defendant filed a motion to vacate tbe judgment, in so far as the same was rendered against him for $306.67, on the ground that tbe court had no jurisdiction to render such judgment on the record. ’ It is from tbe order of the court denying this motion that the defendant prosecutes this appeal. ■

To repeat, the only service had upon the defendant was by publication. He filed a disclaimer on the petition as it then existed. The only question here is: Could tbe court render such a judgment against the defendant on a petition so amended without notice of any character to him? Section 318, C. O. S. 1921, provides, in effect, that the trial court may allow amendments to pleadings by inserting other allegations material to the case ■ when such amendment does not change substantially -the claim or defence. No doubt the plaintiff had a right to amend his petition by permission of the court. We think, under the authorities, that the petition could not be amended in the absence of defendant, so as to substantially change plaintiff’s claim without notice to the defendant. This conclusion is supported by the following cases: Davenport v. Jamison, 74 Okla. 82, 177 Pac. 550; Avery v. Jayhawker Gasoline Co., 101 Okla. 286, 225 Pac. 544.

The motion to vacate and set aside the judgment being directed at the same solely on the ground of want of jurisdiction, the trial' court should have sustained said motion and vacated the personal judgment in so far as it affected this defendant.

The judgment of the trial court is reversed, with direction to sustain the motion of the defendant, Foster, and to vacate and set abide the personal judgment rendered herein against him.
