judgment for the defendant. This is

Clark of a one-tenth interest in three
claims to Preston subject to a mort
gage of $4,000 held by the Northwest
ern National baut, and another for
$4,000 held by the First National bank
of this city. Henry bought the other
nine-tenths interest and Clark paid the
Northwestern bank claim and assigned
1t to Henry, who claimed Preston
should pay one-tenth of the mortgage,
with interest, and brought suit to
foreclose. The evidence went to show
that. Preston paid previous to the
mortgage being given. and Clark had
not intended to hold him. A. c. CORN
ley appeared for Preston and A. G.. Nc

the $4,000 mortgage is now before the
supreme court. Interest in the case
arises from the value involved. the
Florence having been for years a close
corporation and the best paying silver
mine in the state.
