PER OURIAM.

Appeal from an order of the district court ‍​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​​​​​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‍dismissing the action for want of prosecution; in effect an order for judgment in defendant’s favor for his ‍​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​​​​​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‍costs and disbursements. As early as 1872 this court held that an appeal would not lie from ‍​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​​​​​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‍an order of dismissal (Searles v. Thompson, 18 Minn. 285 [316]), and this rule has been adhered to ever ‍​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​​​​​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‍since. The point has not been made by respondent’s counsel, but this is immaterial. U. S. Savings, L. & B. ‍​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​​​​​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‍Co. v. Ahrens, 50 Minn. 332, 52 N. W. 898.

Appeal dismissed.
