      John D. Millilcen, and H. Whiteside, for defendant.in error.
   Per Curiam:

This is a proceeding in error brought to reverse a judgment given plaintiff below for the possession of property claimed by it under a chattel mortgage. The only serious questions presented are such as require for their determination the examination of the evidence. The case-made contains specific recitals that it includes all the evidence. But in two instances it has recitals of the admission of certain exhibits, designated as exhibits “F,” “Gr,” and “I,” followed by the expression, “in words and figures as follows, to wit,” and the exhibits are not given. These obvious omissions overcome the certificate that the evidence is all in the record, preclude an examination of the errors alleged, and require an affirmance of the case, especially as the most important error alleged is an instruction by the trial court that the undisputed evidence showed the filing of a certain mortgage, while it is claimed that the record contains no such evidence whatever. The “undisputed evidence” referred to may have been contained in these omitted exhibits. (Kansas City v. Parker, 65 Kan. 734, 70 Pac. 867; Railway Co. v. Williamson, 58 Kan. 814, 49 Pac. 157.) It is true that the record at another place than that referred to shows exhibits “F,” “Gr” and “I” of a certain deposition, but nowhere do we find anything to identify these as the omitted exhibits.

The proceeding in error is therefore dismissed.

UPON REHEARING.

Per Curiam:

The First National Bank of Cobleskill .New York, brought replevin against Dendy & Peck for certain cattle, claiming * under _ a mortgage made by L. M. Hyre, and recovered judgment. Plaintiff’s case depended upon proof of a copy of tbe mortgage’s having been duly filed in Kingman county. The record brought here shows no evidence of such faot. This necessitates a reversal, unless the proceeding in error should be dismissed, At a former hearing a dismissal was ordered, for the reason that, while the record purported to contain all the evidence, several exhibits referred to as introduced in evidence were not shown, this situation authorizing a presumption that the item of evidence referred to might have been furnished by one of these exhibits in the form of a certified copy of the paper filed with the register of deeds. A serious doubt, not of the principle involved, but of its applicability to the facts of the case, led to the granting of a rehearing. Upon further examination of the record in the light of suggestions made by counsel for plaintiff in error, we are convinced that it is possible to identify the only important exhibits that are apparently omitted with instruments already shown in full in the record. The motion to dismiss on this ground will, therefore, be overruled.

It is also urged that the case should be dismissed because not brought by the real party in interest. The facts relied on to sustain this contention are that Dendy & Peck bought the cattle in controversy of one Paul Russell, under a warranty of title, and in reliance upon this Warranty have left the management of the litigation to their grantor, being themselves indifferent to the result. These circumstances do not bring the case within the rule invoked.

The judgment is reversed and a new trial ordered.
