HENLEY, C. J.

This was a vacation appeal. Appellants did not make the co-parties to the judgment from which this appeal is taken co-appellants. This was necessary. In the case of Owen v. Dresback, 154 Ind. 392, 56 N. E. 22, the supreme court said: “In McKee v. Root, 153 Ind. 314, 54 N. E. 802, this court said, ‘It is settled law that, to give this court jurisdiction of this appeal, the same being a vacation and not a term-time appeal, appellants should have made all their co-parties to the judgment co-appellants with them in this court, and for their failure to do so the appeal must be dismissed.’ This principle is supported by the following authorities: Brown v. Trexler, 132 Ind. 106, 30 N. E. 418, 31 N. E. 572;Gourley v. Embree, 137 Ind. 82, 36 N. E. 846;Gregory v. Smith, 139 Ind. 48, 38 N. E. 395;State v. Hodgin, 139 Ind. 498, 39 N. E. 161;Benbow v.
