This cause was heard upon the brief of appellant, the respondents’ brief being stricken because of a failure to file it within the time prescribed, without any sufficient showing in justification of the delay. An examination of the record, however, raised a doubt as to whether this court -had jurisdiction, and the appellant was permitted to make a further showing. The action was brought against several defendants. Before service was had, two of them appeared and demurred to the complaint. The demurrer was sustained and an amended complaint was filed, whereupon a demurrer was sustained to this also, and a second amended complaint was filed, whereupon a motion
It is urged that the court erred in sustaining the demurrers aforesaid, and also the motion to make the complaint more definite and certain, and erred in dismissing the last complaint because of the failure to comply therewith.

Whether this was overlooked in granting the order we do not know, but we'think there was a sufficient compliance, conceding that the order was rightly made.
Reversed and remanded for further proceedings.
