The causes have been considered together in this court, and the ultimate rights of the parties in this case have been determined in accordance with the views expressed in the opinion in cause No. 24132.

The opinion in cause No. 24132 is therefore adopted as the opinion in this case, and this cause is reversed and remanded, with directions to proceed in a manner not inconsistent with the views announced.
