a part of the tract, is not precluded by
the fact that he is personally liable for

requiring a marshaling of securities, SO
that the parcel of land on which he has
no lien shall be appropriated to the pay

3 In the situation stated the right to
a marshaling of securities is not defeated
by the sale of the tract which is subject
only to the first mortgage, to purchaser
for value, who from the record has notice
of both mortgages, and of the assumption
of the first mortgage debt by the maker
of the second mortgage, although such
sale is made before such right has been

!. In action for damages alleged to
have been sustained by a boy eleven years
old while playing on a city dump, by fall
ing into snouldering fire-such dump
being clearly an attractive nuisance-the
court gave correct Instructions at the re-
quest of the plaint1ff,-but also gave sew
eral at the request of the defendant which
were erroneous. Held that the jury
which found for the defendant We're as
likely to be Influenced by the wrong as
by the right instructions, the plaintiff has
not had his case presented under a proper
Interpretation of the law, and a new trial
should be granted.
2. In such case the maintenance of
the dump by the city and not its estab-
liShment was material and the city was
required to use reasonable care to keep
children away from being injured there.
8. Such dump being in charge of a boss
whether not he with the knowledge
and acquiescence of the city exercised
control over the whole dump rather than
whether or not he had express authority
so to do. mere warning to the plaintiff
to be careful, uttered by private person
engaged in unloading spoiled fruit at such
dump would not relieve the city from
liability even If the plaintiff was suf-
ficiently Intelligent to appreciate the dan
ger of going over the embankment which
formed a part of the dump, after spoiled
fruit. but proceeded and sustained injuries
lat a place where a prudent person would
not anticipate any one would go, If the
where the injury occurred was a smould-
