A SPEC THAT FAILED.
Appellate Court Ruling That Was
Quickly Reversed.

The variety Of court rulings was
forcibly illustrated the other day in
town. A north Dickinson man mort
gagged a half section many years ago,
then a second mortgage was given an
Abilene man. On the first mortgage
the interest was paid for ten years
but none Of the principal though the
limit Of the mortgage note was only
five years. On similar case in Clay
county recently the appellate court
sustained the district court in a de-
cision that paying interest alone did
not keep alive the note and that the
statute of limitations cancelled the
principal debt five years after the
limit of the note. judges Mahan and
McElroy affirming and Judge Wells
dissenting.
The holder of the second mort
gage on the Dickinson real estate
offered it to an Abilene attorney for
about $780, The attorney relying on
the wisdom Of the appellate court
jumped at the chance and felt sure
that he would own the half section
for a song.
He was happy until the supreme
court handed down a decision last
week reversing the appellate court
and holding that payment Of interest
kept alive the principal debt. This
makes the first mortgage good and as
the land is not worth the face of this
mortgage note the second mortgage
holder is out. The ruling affects a
large number Of mortgages in the
State.
