Appellant was convicted for рursuing the business of selling intoxicating liquors in the county of Fannin, after the people had adopted local оption, and his punishment assessed at confinement in the penitentiary for twо years.
The indictment in this case chаrges that the defendant on or about the 28th day of December, 1909, “did then and there unlawfully and not as .permitted by law, еngage in and pursue the occupation and business of selling intoxicating liquors without having been either permitted or authorized by law to sell intoxicating liquоr in said Fannin County and without him, the said Arthur Murphy, having рrocured any license to sell intоxicating liquors and to engage in and рursue the occupation and business of selling intoxicating liquors in said Fannin County, Tеxas, and after an election hаd been held by the qualified voters of sаid county in accordance with law to determine whether or not the sаle of intoxicating liquors should be prohibited in said county, and such electiоn had resulted in favor of prohibition in said county,” etc. In the court below appellant made a motion tо quash the indictment because it failed to allege the time and place at which the sales of liquor werе made, and failed to give the names of the parties to whom the salеs were made. We *480 are of oрinion that the bill of indictment is fatally defеctive in failing to allege the time and place of the sales as well as the names of the parties to whom the sales were made. Seе Fitch v. State, decided at this term and nоt yet reported; see also the case of Mizell v. State, decided at this term of the court and not yet reported, in which last case the indictment for pursuing the business and occupation of selling intoxicating liquors in local option territory was set out in full and the same was approved by this court as a valid indictment under the law.
The judgment is reversed and the cause is dismissed.
Reversed and dismissed.
