1. ““ * * * This Court has held that an order sustaining a general demurrer and dismissing the action is such judgment as will be considered a judgment ‘on the merits’. In the case of Christner v. Christner, 203 Okl. 581 , 224 P.2d 594, 596 , it was said in the body of the opinion. “ ‘The effect of sustaining a demurrer to a petition and dismissing the action upon the refusal of plaintiff to replead is the same as if the case had been tried by a court and jury and issues found for defendant. Custer v. Kroeger, 313 Mo. 130 , 280 S.W. 1035 , 44 A.L.R. 1328 . To the same effect are annotations following 13 A.L.R. 1104 and 106 A.L.R. 437 . The Oklahoma cases are annotated in both the A.L.R. citations. We know of no authority to the contrary and none are cited.’ ””
