REDFIELD, S. D.-The case of Work
Brothers & Co. VS.. Henry Braun ct al, is
one of the most important which has ever
been tried in the county. 1t was an ac-
ton for the foreclosure of a real estate
mortgage. The indebtedness alleged to be
due, about $4,000, arose principally on ac-
count Of goods sold Braun & CO. at Mel
lette by the plaintiffs in 1893. The de-
Tense was that something over s1,800 OF
the indebtedness had been paid by the
foreclosure Of chattel mortgage on a
portion Of the stock Of goods in January,
1896, and that the remainder had been in
fact paid by reason of the redemption by
the plaintiffs from foreclosure sale OF
other lands belonging to Henry Schaper,
a member of the firm of Braun & Co.
Schaper gave first mortgage to one Peck
for $500, and then in July, 1893, gave a
second mortgage to the plaintiffs to Sc
cure the Braun & Co. Indebtedness. The
plaintiffes paid something over $1,000 in
redeeming from the Peck foreclosure
Having redeemed from this foreclosure
and taken Sheriff s deed. they Immediately
sold the land for $4,000 cash. The de-
PENDANTS contended that the $1,000 fol
which the property was bid in on the
chattel mortgage foreclosure, and the ex-
cess of the value of the land redeemed
over and above the amount paid by the
plaintiffs for redemption. should apply on
the indebtedness, and that If it was sc
applied, the debt would be fully eXtin-
guished. The plaintiffs denied the author
ity Of the attorneys to foreclose the chatte
mortgage and denied the receipt of any
of the proceeds of such foreclosure and
demurred to that part of the answer which
set up the amount realized on the redemp-
ton as a payment. The court, however
overruled the demurrer. On trial the de-
PENDANTS proved the authority Of the at
torneys Of the plaintiffs in making the
chattel mortgage foreclosure, and the re-
suit is that the defendants, instead OF
having decree for foreclosure against
them for the sum Of about $4,000, princt-
pal and interest, secured judgment fol
costs.
