¶1The writ of possession having been fully executed prior to 5 o’clock, p. m. on the 25th day of May, 1904, the writ of prohibition issued at 9:25 o’clock, p. ni. of said day was ineffectual; no act remaining to be done on the part of said district court in respect to which said writ of prohibition could operate. A writ of prohibition cannot be made to take the place of a writ of error. Petition dismissed and temporary writ dissolved.
