THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, MARCH 27, 1900.
BEGINNING TO .SIMMER
political cauldron shows sigxs
op activity.
Democrats Don't Knoir "Whom to
dominate for Mayor Many
Candidates for Office.
As the Democratic convention approach
es the political pot begins to simmer a
little around the edges, and the indica
tions are that it will be boiling merrily
before that assemblage has been In session
an hour. The Democrats do not know
whom to nominate for Mayor. The man
they want is R. D. Inman, but Mr. Inman
declines to say -whether or not he "wants
them. Dr. G. M. Wells is eecond choice;
but, in the minds of the inside men of the
party, he will not do. He is not strong
enough, they say, to beat any -well-known
Republican, and the Democrats have set
their hearts on -two offices this year tho
Mayoralty and the District Attorneyship.
They also have an eye on the legislative
ticket, but the wise men in their ranks
do not hold out any alluring hopes in this
direction.
It is this Mayorallty business that Is the
all-absorbing topic, and the one which Is
a matter of some concern to both parties.
It is given out that C. H. Prescott has
positively declined to run. This does not
leave the Republicans in so bad shape as
the refusal of Mr. Inman will leave the
Democrats, as there Is still plenty of good
timber in the party. Tyler "Woodward
has been mentioned as a possibility, and
General C. F. Beebe as another. There
is also a prospect that Mayor Storey will
elt into the convention with a few cards
up his sleeve, and this prospect seems to
britrhten as the days go by. Should he
receive the nomination he will come pretty
near being elected, for he has a large fol
lowing, and is not a man who will allow
the appearance of obstacles In his Dath
to cause him to turn back when he has
started to go any place. This quality he
evidenced copiously during the troublous
times, when he was one of the solid six,
and there have been other occasions when
it stuck out prominently.
In fact, it Is Storey the Democrats are
afraid of. They have arranged not to
nominate any one for Mayor Saturday,!
and -wait for the Republicans to take the
field first. If they come down the lino
with Storey, a strong Democrat will be
put up. If they do not, a promise to Dr.
Wells may be in condition for Immediate
delivery.
Another coming event which will cast
its shadow on the political situation Is the
meeting of the bar tonight This meet
ing, as is generally known, has been
called to discuss the affairs of the Dis
trict Attorney's office, and It is hinted
that upon Its outcome will depend In a
large measure the choice of the Republi
can convention ofr that important office.
The democrats have already settled un
alterably upon George E. Chamberlain,
and they say they are going to make the
light of their lives to elect. Beside Mr.
Sewall, the only Republican candidate now
in the race Is Colonel S. C. Spencer. Who
ever succeeds In landing the Republican
nomination Is promised a hard ficht pre
viously thereto, and a hard fight Is what
both Mr. Sewall and Colonel Spencer are
said to be looking for.
The talk of arranging the D'etrlct Judge
ship contest on a nonpartisan basis seems
to be on the wane. Both Judge George
and Judge Sears stand in high favor -with
the Republicans, and it is intimated that
there -will be no disposition to sacrifice
either. Thomas O'Day and Dell Stuart are
ever ready to fill this place on the Demo
cratic ballot: but the Democrats say there
are others, and -will probably allow the
aforesaid gentlemen to flip a quarter for
the Congressional nomination, for which
their predellctlon for 16 to 1 eminently fits
them.
If the Democrats cannot have Mr. In
man for a candidate for Mayor, they will
try to get him to run for Sheriff. He -will
have a hard row to hoe here, for Sheriff
Frcuiler runs like one of his fast horses
when he gets into an election, and it will
take a phenomenal Democrat to beat him,
should he be nominated. Dan J. Moore,
who Is also a candidate for the nomination
to the office, is likewise a hard man to de
feat. The Democrats have D. M. Wat
son and a number of others to fall back
on If they cannot secure the services of
Mr. Inman; but he is their forlorn hope,
and that Is why they will try to get him
that Is, of course. If they cannot arrange
to have him run for Mayor. And, speak
ing of Mayor, the friends and admirers of
Sylvester Pennoyer say that It will pay to
keep an eye on him. He has not yet for-
ogtten the pleasures of playing the role
of autocrat of the municipality, and -would
like nothing better than the sight of an
opening which will admit him edgewise
into the contest. He has no Mitchell po
lice force to boost him now, and he has
an unpleasant aroma of Napoleon Davis
and an araiy of tattered prodigals cling
ing around him still, but he thinks he Is
all right, and would bt willing, It Is un
derstood, to squirm back Into the ma
hogany room In the City Hall, If offered
the slightest encouragement by discord on
the opposition ticket.
Since J. P. Betts has announced that he
is strictly a one-term Constable,, an array
of talent has presented Itself ror that of
fice which would Indicate that It is con-
.sidered a good thing. John D. Mann
comes first on the list, with Tom Mc
Namee a close second, and Deputy George
Mitchell and a young man named Court
ney bunched well up on the stTetch. Tho
democrats aver that they will run Captain
A. C. Barclay, whomMhey think they can
elect.
The matter of the School Superintend
ency Is one which Is beginning to receive
a rather belated attention. A. P. Arm
strong, tho present incumbent, is listed by
his friends for a renominatlon, but It Is
asserted the Professor Cuitls, of the Sell
wood School, embarked on the ground floor
some time ago. The Democrats have
brought forward no one as yet, but will
not likely meet with any trouble In making
a selection. Dr. Rand Is urged for a sec
ond term for Coroner. The Democrats do
not know as yet just whom they -will run
against him.
The audltorship seems to be In brisk
demand. The Democrats are finding some
difficulty In finding a lamb who will stand
for being led to the slaughter which
awaits any one of that political faith -who
aspires to the honor, but the supply of
Republicans is in considerable excess of
the demand. Auditor Gambell Is reported
as still being In the fight, and his office
is further represented by his deputy, T. C.
Devlin, who Is the author of a book on
"Municipal Government" and a favorite
as a club speaker. General William Ka
pus, deputy under City Engineer Chase,
Is also mentioned by his friends for the
office. He is an old citizen of Portland,
and a veteran Republican, whose follow
ing Is sure to develop to considerable size
in the convention. Councilman Jameson,
who aspires not to his present office any
more, is also a candidate, and has friends
in authority -who will try to see that his
interests are not overlooked.
The abolition of Councllmen's salaries
will not tend to Increase the applicants
for that dignified position, but It Is likely
that one man at least can be found In
every ward who will be willing to serve
the city for glory. The East Side will
have to rustle up some new men, for all of
its present representatives are In the
market looking for bargains. Mr. Cam
eron will fight In the convention with
Judge Hennessy for the $40 Municipal
Court throne. Mr. Jameson is among the
applicants for the nomination for Audi
tor, and Mr. Hanson and Mr. Beutgen are
numbered among a long list of candidates
for County Commissioners.
Some of the West Side Councilmen may
reappear in their -wonted places after
July; others will not. Mr. Harris, of the
first ward, will probably run if furnished
the opportunity; Mr. Martin, of the sec
ond ward, is reported to be willing to
resign his Job in favor of a new man; J.
D. Meyer, In the third ward, will run as a
Democrat. The situation in theremaln-
Ins wards is unsettled. T. C. Malone Is
not unlikely to bob up as a candidate in
the seventh, but it is not at all sure that
he "will receive a nomination.

BACK FROM THE ORIENT.
H. R, Lewis Describes Conditions of
Trade.
H. R. iKJwis, who left Portland .last
March for Honolulu, Yokohama, Hong
Kong and Manila, returned home yester
day. In speaking of his trip, he told many
interesting things. He left Portland as a
representative of the Philippine Trading
Asr,ociatlon. In telling his impressions
while abroad, in relation to trade con
ditions, he said:
"The Hawaiian Islands present very
great evidences of prosperity, and pros
perity that is real, owing to the enormous
investment of capital In sugar plantations.
The Islands should present a large market
for the products of the Pacific Northwest,
inasmuch as they produce scarcely any
thing in the way of food for man or beast,
save sugar. Land is more valuable for
sugar than for anything else.
"In Japan, every port Is a scene of
marvelous commercial activity. Scores of
big ocean freighters occupy each harbor
discharging and loading. The same is true
of the ports of Shanghai and Hong Kong,
in China. American goods of all kinds are
in great demand, and it is a demand in
creasing every month as the merits of our
goods are better understood.
"As to Manila, the trade there during
the past six months has been very poor,
as no communication could be had -with
the rich island ports; but, since the first
of the year, the opening of the tobacco
and hemp ports has produced a wonder
ful Increase. An Immense quantity of
hemp and tobacco has accumulated at
these ports, and it is coming into Manila
as fast as it can be transported. The crop
of sugar la small, but as soon as labor
can be obtained, the fields will be culti
vated, and the present outlook Is very flat
tering. Luzon produces a large quantity
of sugar, but the major portion of the crop
is harvested In the Island of Panay, which
is tributary to Ho Ho, the second largest
city, situated on the Island of Negroa As
fast as the Island ports are garrisoned
by troops, they are opened to business,
and in a very short time everything should
be under full swing.
"Very extensive quartz and placer dig
gings of gold already discovered were reg
istered under the Spanish Government, but
very little work has been done, -owing to
the lack of knowledge and poor protec
tion offered by the government to those
remote from the cities. A large number
of prospectors are waiting in Manila to
register claims they have discovered, but
the military authorities have closed the
registers and forbidden them to go beyond
military lines. However, many are leav
ing Manila nearly every day to work
placer deposits they have discovered.
"There are extensive coal deposits, and
reports of rich coper deposits. Petroleum
Is also said to exist In some of the islands.
English and European capitalists are In
vesting heavily In various business pur
suits, satisfied that the Americans will
eventually put things in shape.
"The educated and responsible class
among the Filipinos, as well as the peas
antry, are In favor of tho administra
tion of affairs by the Americans, and ex
press little faith In Agulnaldo and his sup
porters. However, more or less support
Is given by all classes to the Insurrec
tion, owing to their fear of immediate
personal injury in case of refusal, and the
certainty of extinction if our Govern
ment should grant the Independence de
manded by the revolutionists. Most of
the leaders are regarded as thoroughly
corrupt and treacherous.
"I called upon one of the directors of
the Tayo Kalsen Kalsha Steamship Com
pany as to the possibility of Portland
becoming a starting point for steamers.
He said his people expressed the very
highest regard for the Americans In their
gratitude for the enforced opening of
their ports by Commodore Perry. Ameri
can goods are preferred to those of Eu
rope, because of their better quality. The
director said that It was not at all Im
probable that his company or a kindred as
sociation would. In the near future, op
erate a line from Portland, recognizing
In it the cheapest flour and lumber port
on the Pacific Coast
"China Is equally eager for our products,
and their consumption Is Increasing by
leaps and bounds. It is only a question
-of vessels to carry the products.
"I found life In Manila very pleasant
and the climate agreeable, except for the
three heTmonths March, April and May
yet these are not very much hotter than
here."

PORTLAND, March 26. (To the Editor.)
We have noticed in your paper several
times that there Is quite a discussion about
the 19th and 20th century. Now, here is a
question we would like to ask. In a part
of what three centuries has our grand
mother lived? Having been born in 179S,
she saw a part of 1700, all of 1S00, and
started on 1900. Now, has she seen a part
of the 17th, 18th and 19th century, or the
18th, 19th and 20th? She has certainly 6een
a portion of 1700, 1SO0 and 1900. F. L.
Guess again. She has seen part of the
ISth century, and part of the 19th. If she
should live beyond midnight of December
31, 1900, she will have seen a part of the
20th century. It seems almost useless to
say once more that the 20th century will
begin January L 1901.

OREGON SUPREME COURT
OPHTIOJfS HAKDED DOWX BY THAT
BODY YESTERDAY.
Jadsrxaent of Lower Coart la Case ef
Commercial National Hank vs.
City of Selltvood Reversed.
SALEM, March 23. The caso of the
Commercial National Bank, respondent
vs. the City of Sellwood et aL, appellants,
which the City of Portland became a party
to as the successor to the City of Sellwood,
was reversed by the Supreme Court today,
and a decision against the bank rendered.
The opinion of the court was "written by
Judge Bean.
In December, 1S91, the City of Sellwood
entered Into a contract "with one W. F.
Dill for the Improvement of Umatilla ave
nue, a street in said city. In carrying out
his contract Dill purchased from the Co
lumbia River Lumber & Fuel Company
and used in the work, lumber to the value
of J&36S0 S3, under a verbal agreement that
he would give It orders for warrants on
the fund for the improvement of the street
as the work should be accepted, and in
pursuance of such agreement Dill gave
the company the following order:
"Portland, Or., Feb. 23, 1S92. To J. D.
Chapman, City Recorder of the City of
Sellwood: You -will please deliver to D.
J. Moore, secretary of the Columbia River
Lumber & Fuel Company, city warrants
on the fund for the improvement of Uma
tilla avenue, in said City of Sellwood, In
tho State of Oregon, from time to time,
as work on said avenue shall be accepted
and warrants drawn, equal In amount to
the value of the lumber furnished by said
Columbia River Lumber & Fuel Company
and used In making said Improvement.",
now under way, to be redeemed by bills
presented by said company and approved
by me. W. F. DILL."
This order was immediately filed with
the City Recorder, and has ever since re
mained in the custody of the City of Sell--wood
and its successor, the City of Port
land. On May 25, 1SS2, Dill approved a
bill for lumber amounting to $1537 73, and
a warrant for that amount was Issued by
the City of Sellwood to the fuel company,
but refused to audit or approve any other
bills for the company, and on the 25th of
July, 1S92, notified the City Council that
"on account of nonfulfillment of contract
I had with the C. R. L. & P. Co., I re
voke all orders I havo given them for
warrants." Thereafter warrants were is
sued by the city for the balance due Dill
on his account, and delivered to him and
his assignees and the fund collected for
such improvement was thereby exhausted.
The fuel company subsequently com
menced this suit against the City of Sell
wood and others to recover the balance
due for lumber furnished Dill, on the the
ory that the order of February 23 operated
as an equitable assignments of a portion
of the fund for the Improvement of the
street sufficient to pay for the lumber so
furnished. Thereafter the Commercial Na
tional Bank was regularly substituted as
plaintiff, and the City of Portland, the suc
cessor of the City of Sellwood, as defend
ant and a decree being rendered for the
bank, the city appealed.
The opinion of the ourt says: "The only
question for our decision Is whether the
order of February 23 amounts to an equit
able assignment At law, only a part of
an entire demand can not be assigned, so
as to enable the assignee to bring action
upon it without the consent of the debtor,
but equity recognizes that In such case
the assignee obtains by the assignment an
interest in the property or fund and per
mits such Interest to bo enforced by suit
. . . But the proof required of an as
signment or transfer is the same at law
as In equity. In either case, there must
be such a transfer or appropriation of the
fund, or some definite part thereof, as to
divest the assignor of any Interest in or
control over it and to confer, a complete
and present right in the assignee."
After citing a number of authorities, the
court says:
"Applying these rules to the order un
der consideration, we are forced to the
conclusion that It did not operate as an
equitable assignment It does not contain
words of transfer or purport to assign
to the fuel company any Interest In the
amount due or to become due from the
city to Dill, nor Is It directed to the debtor
or custodian of the fund. It is addressed
to the City Recorder, and is simply an
order to him to deliver to the secretary of
the fuel company from time to time, as
work on the avenue shall be accepted,
warrants thereafter to be drawn by the
city oi seuwooQ, presumably in ravor or
Dill, on a certain fund, equal In amount
to tho value of the lumber furnished by
the fuel company, and used In making
such Improvement But waiving this point
and assuming that In this respect the or
der Is sufficient to constitute an equitable
assignment the fatal objection remains
that it did not vest in the fuel company a
present right to the warrants or authorize
the City Recorder to deliver them, with
out the further approval of Dill. It Is only
on tho presentation of bills of lumber, ap
prox'ed by Dill, that the City Recorder Is
authorized, under this order, to deliver
warrants to the fuel company. The con
tract was not complete. Something re
mained to be done in the future by Dill
before the right of the company to the
warrants should become absolute. The
city could not safely deliver to the fuel
company, nor be compelled to'dellver to
it, any warrants, until Its bills had been
approved by DHL The words 'evidenced
by bills approved by me' limited the au
thority of the City Recorder to deliver
warrants to the fuel company. It was
jonly upon a certain condition that he was
"authorized to do so. Indeed, this inter
pretation seems to be In accordance with
the actual Intentions of the parties. The
evidence shows that at the time it was
given the secretary of the fuel company
desired an order on the Recorder to de
liver warrants to his company without
any further act on the part of Dill, but
Dill refused to give such an order, and the
company accepted the present one upon
the advice of the City Attorney 'that It
did not make any difference what trouble
Mr. Dill and the company got into over
the bills; that after filing this order with
the Recorder of Sellwood, he -would hold
these warrants In his possession until
they had come to an agreement'
"It follows that the decree of the court
below must bo reversed, and it Is so' or
dered." Solomon HIrsch et al., respondents, vs.
the First National Bank of McMInnvllle et
al., appellants, from Multnomah County,
Alfred F. Sears, Jr., Judge; affirmed.
Opinion by Bean, J.
This was a suit brought by Flelschner,
Mayer & Co., to set aside as fraudulent
and void four chattel mortgages given by
the defendant F. W. Redmond to his co
defondants, and a deed of assignment from
him to defendant Jacob Wortman, on the
ground that they were made for the pur
pose of hindering, delaying and defrauding
creditors, and especially the plaintiffs. On
Augtist 12, 1S97, and long prior thereto,
Redmond was engaged in business at Mc
MInnvllle, Or., and during such time had
become Indebted for goods purchased, and
money borrowed to such an extent as to
render him Insolvent The plaintiffs and
others holding claims against him
amounting in the aggregate to 52000, or
more, were and had been for some days
pressing him for payment After an un
successful attempt to borrow money to
pay and discharge their claims, without
consultation with any of his creditors, and
without advising them of his proposed
action, on the day named, he executed four
chattel mortgages, covering his entire
stock of goods and store fixtures: One in
favor of the First National Bank of Mc
MInnvllle, to secure the payment of a
promissory note of himself and wife for
$2003, of date July 6, 1S97; another In favor
J of his wife, M. A. Redmond, for 51300, to
secure a promissory note for that amount,
made at the same time that the mort
gage was executed, but dated the 2d of
August, 1697; another in favor of his sis
ter, tho defendant M. C Redmond, for
$563, to secure a promissory note made at
the same time, but datedMuly 1, 1897; and
the fourth to secure the payment of a
promissory note for 52100, made at the
same time, but dated August 2, 1SS7, In fa
vor of his brother-in-law, the defendant
J. E. Smith. Immediately after the exe
cution of these mortgages, he caused them
to be filed for record In the order above
Indicated, and soon thereafter delivered
to the defendant Wortman, president et
tho First National Bank, the keys to his
store, and assigned and transferred to him.
all his book accounts. At that time, his
entire property consisted of bis stoclc of
goods, store fixtures and boolc accounts,
and did not exceed in value the aggregate
amount of the mortgages. Upon the same
day the mortgages were filed, the plaintiffs
began an action against Redmond, to re
cover the sum of 51033, being the balance
due them for goods sold md delivered to
him, and attached, or attempted to at
tach, the property described in the chattel
mortgages referred to. On the 17th of
August Redmond executed and delivered
to Wortman a certain Instrument In the
form of a general assignment, or the
benefit of his creditors, under the assign
ment laws of the state.
Thereafter, on August 24, the plaintiffs
brought this sujt, alleging that the mort
gages were fraudulent and void and that
the mortgages and deed of assignment
were one and the same transaction, and
that Redmond was then and now wholly
Insolvent They also alleged the com
mencement of tho action at law against
Redmond, and the Issuance and levy ot
the writ of attachment
The Kuhn, Nathan & Fisher Company
and Sweet Orr & Co. were allowed to In
tervene, and allege claims dpe them- A
receiver was appointed, the goods sold,
and the proceeds held to await the order
of the court
At the trial, the plaintiffs offered in evi
dence the judgment roll in the action at
law, but on account of some objection to
the form of tho affidavit and undertaking
an attachment and the return of the offi
cer thereon, all the papers except the Judg.
ment ItselJ were withdrawn. With the
permission of the court, the plaintiffs filed
a supplementary complaint alleging the
recovery of the judgment.
The court below found the four chattel
mortgages and the deed of assignment
void as to the plaintiffs and lntervenors,
and entered a decree setting the same
aside and directing that the money In tho
hands of the receiver be applied, first, to
the expenses and costs of the suit and re
recelvershlp; second, to the payment of
the amount due plaintiffs; third, to the
amount due the lntervenors.
In affirming this decree, the court says:
"The plaintiffs are met at the outset with
the objection that the court is without
jurisdiction, because (1) the property in
controversy, being In the possession of an
assignee, under an assignment regular
upon Its face, at the time the suit was
commenced, was in custodia legis, and the
validity of the assignment could only bo
attacked In the Circuit Court of the coun
ty in which it was filed; and (2) the plain
tiffs are not entitled to relief because they
failed to prove that prior to the com
mencement of this suit, they had attached
the property of Redmond In the action at
law brought by them against him.
"A sufficient answer to the first objec
tion Is that this suit proceeds upon the
theory that the assignment Is fraudulent
and void, and, therefore, has no force or
effect whatever. . . ."
On the second question the court holds
that the filing of the suplemental com
plaint, when taken In connection with the
admitted allegation that Redmond was In
solvent, Is sufficient to cure any defect
on account of the suit having been pre
maturely brought
The opinion reviews the evidence and
holds that no error appears.
Ellen Henderson, respondent, vs. M. W.
Henderson, appellant; from Multnomah
County; J. B. Cleland, Judge;- affirmed.
Opinion by Wolverton, C. J.
On February 4. 16S4, the plaintiff was
granted a divorce from the defendant, and
In the decree therefor, the defendant
among other things, was required to sup
port and educate the minor child of tho
parties during his minority, and to pay
to- the plaintiff, during the term of her
natural life, the sum of 5150 per month.
On January G, 1S97, defendant petitioned
the court to reduce the amount td $75 per
month, alleging that such an allowance
was all he was able to pay, and was suf
ficient for the needs of the plaintiff. Mrs.
Henderson set up by way of estoppel that
tho allowance of $150 was made In accord
ance with an agreement of the parties.
The plaintiff prevailed, and In affirming
the lower court's order denying the mod
ification, the Supreme Court says In con
clusion: "Notwithstanding the court has power
and authority to modify Its decree of di
vorce touching the awarding of a sum of
money for the maintenance of either the
husband or wife by the other, subsequent
to tho entering of the decree, yet, never
theless, they may agree in a proper case
touching the amount of such sum "and
the manner of its payment, subject to the
approval of the court as to its validity in
good morals, and as conformable to public
policy, and In further consideration of the
status and condition of tho parties relat.
Ing to the question of Its fairness and
equability of adjustment; but that, when
such an agreement has been approved by
the solemn "decree of the court, it becomes
forever binding, to the same degree and
with like effect as ordinary contracts be
tween parties admittedly "sul juris," and
Is not subject to revocation or modifica
tion, except by the consent of the parties
thereto."
Joseph Balte, respondent, vs. Thomas
Bedemlller, appellant; from Multnomah
County; E. D. Shattuck, Judge; affirmed.
Opinion by Moore, J.
This action was originally brought In the
Justice's Court of Port'and District, to
recover damages resulting from the fail
ure of title on the sale of a horse. The
plaintiff prevailed In the Justice's Court,
and, on appeal to the Circuit Court, won
again, and the defendant appealed. In
affirming the decision of the Circuit Court,
the Supreme Court lays down tho follow
ing Tules of law:
"On the sale of personal property at a
fair price In the possession of tho vendor,
the law. In the absence of any statement
J or existence of facts or circumstances to
tho contrary, implies a warranty of title;
but where the goods are in the possession
of a third party at the time of the sale,
no such warranty results, the rule of'cave
at emptor being applied.
"The vendor's possession of personal
property creates a presumption of hl3
ownership, and a sale by him while so
possessed, when nothing Is said respecting
the title and no facts or circumstances
exist tending to show that he did not In
tend to assert ownership, creates an Im
plied warranty that he had a valid title;
and If at the time of the -sale, a third
party had a better title, and subsequently
takes such property or disturbs the pur
chaser's possession thereof, the vendor Is
responsible for the damages which result
from a breach of such warranty. . . .
"If the purchaser defends the title
against an action brought by a third par
ty, of which the vendor had notice, the
latter will be compelled to pay. in caso tho
title fails, not only tho price received and
Interest thereon, but also the costs and
expenses, of the defense. . . . The at
torney's fees constitute a part of the dam
age which the plaintiff sustained in conse
quence of the defendant's breach of war
ranty." Independent Order of Foresters, re

claims to tho fund in controversy, is de
nied. The decree of the court below was
against them, and they have acquiesced
therein. Although parties to the appeal,
neither appeared In this court by brief or
counsel, to question the correctness of the
decree, or to contest the claims of the
other appellants. The only parties appear
ing here as claimants to the fund are tho
guardians of the minor children of Keli
her, on the one side, and Mrs. Cosgrove
and H. E. Edwards on the other. The
assignment of Mrs. Kellher to Mrs. Cos
grove is admitted to be valid by the only
party to this appeal, who has any right
to question it; and, as between her and
Edwards there Is no contention.
"In regard to the matter of interest: It
appears that after the entry of the decree
In the court below, the guardian of James,
Mary and Josephine Kellher received pf
the fund In controversy 52157, and the
guardian of Catherine Anno Brandes 5719,
and it la claimed that they ought to bo
charged with Interest thereon. From the
showing made, it appears that the guard
ian of Catherine Anne Brandes has re
ceived no Interest whatever upon the
money paid to her, but that it has re
mained In the bond upon deposit awaiting
the termination of the appeal; and, there
fore she ought not to be charged, with in
terest The amount received by the guard
Ian of James, Mary and Josephine Kell
her was mingled with the other funds be
longing to her wards, and a portion at
least put out at Interest But It is Impos
sible to tell from the evidence before us
what amount of Interest has been received
byher on account of such funds. "What
ever interest she has so received, if any,
less the expense Incident to the manage
ment of the fund, ought to be paid over by
her to the successful parties on this ap
peal. As this cannot b? ascertained upon
the showing made, it Is thought best to
refer the question to the court below for
determination, and it is so ordered."
H. "W. "Wesco, respondent, vs. Sarah M.
Kern and John "W. Kern, appellants; on
petition for rehearing; petition denied.
Opinion by Bean, J.
The effect of a sale under a decree fore
closing a mortgage, containing a covenant
of warranty, upon the right either of the
purchaser at such sale, or the mortgagor,
or his successor in interest, to maintain
an action for a breach of such a covenant
In the chain of title of the mortgagor, oc
curring after the dato of the mortgage
and before the sale, is not involved In this
case, because there was no sale under
the mortgage of that portion of the prop
erty from which the mortgagor had been
ovicted, and, therefore, the opinion must
not be construed as deciding that ques
tion upon which the authorities seem to be
in conflict
