Statement of the Case.
Beplevin by Bettie D. Kelly against Stary M. Hakes to recover possession of a mare and two colts. Upon a trial without a jury the court found that plaintiff was entitled to possession of the mare and the defendant entitled to the possession of the colts. The court entered judgment on the findings apportioning the costs between plaintiff and defendant and ordered a writ of retorno hdbendo for the "return of the colts. To reverse the judgment, plaintiff appeals, and the defendant assigns cross-errors that the court erred in awarding possession of the mare to plaintiff and in apportioning the costs, and in taxing any costs against defendant.
James L. Hicks, for appellant.
Orman Ridgely, for appellee.

Opinion:
Me. Presiding Justice Carnes
delivered the opinion of the court.
2. Replevin, § 17*—right of action as between tenants in common. A part owner of a chattel cannot maintain replevin therefor as against his co-owner in possession.
3. Replevin, § 163*-—costs. The general rule that the prevailing party is entitled to costs is not applicable in replevin cases where the plaintiff fails to recover all the property replevied.
4. Appeal and error, § 1032*—questions not raised for review. The manner of apportioning costs is not presented for review where the only argument on appeal goes to the right to make an apportionment.
