The practice of swearing cases of foreclosure of mortgage , out of the state courts , into the United States courts , lately established by certain at torneys at Omaha , and sanctioned by Judge Dundy is a practical denial of justice and an ouurage upon our people. The client or his attorney must swear that all the 23 judges of the state of Nebraska , are prejudiced against him , and that he cannot have a fair and im partial trial in the state courts. This is all because our supreme court has decided that attorney's fees cannot be made a part of a judgment of foreclos ure , and in ordsr to get the attorney fee out of the land owner , they swear to these statements. Judge J. E. Coch ran , of McCook , stirred the animals up a little in an article published in the State Journal of May 19.
