prepared the opinion for the court.
By a complaint filed in the police court of the city of Miles City, Montana, the defendant was charged with “unlawfully, wrongfully, willfully, and unnecessarily” obstructing a certain alley in Miles City, in violation of the provisions of a certain ordinance “concerning nuisances.” Defendant was arrested upon a warrant issued upon said complaint, tried and convicted in the police court, and a fine imposed. Defendant appealed to the district court of Custer county. At the trial in the district court, plaintiff, city of Miles City, offered in evidence the ordinance “concerning nuisances” above referred to, which was excluded by the court upon the ground that the same was invalid, whereupon, the plaintiff declining to proceed further with the trial, upon motion of defendant, the court dismissed the complaint, and ordered the defendant discharged. Judgment was made and entered accordingly. The plaintiff city of Miles City has attempted to appeal from the judgment. Defendant has made motion to dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction in this court.
For. the reasons given in the foregoing opinion, the appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
Dismissed.
