¶1 This is an appeal from a conviction for burglary, the jury assessing four years confinement as the punishment.
¶2 There is neither a statement of facts nor a bill of exceptions in the record. There is no question raised which can be reviewed in the absence of these. However, the sentence is for four years straight. It should have followed our indeterminate sentence law. It is, therefore, necessary to reform the judgment herein, which is ordered, and as reformed will be affirmed.
¶3 Affirmed.
