Patrick Asalnat Bunk of Commerce.
in the case of Patrick against the Na
tional Bank of Commerce, appealed from
Douglas county, the supremo court has de-IJVercdn-lipii.rgariUpglthe
entry' of
deficiency Judgment which is of more
than ordinary Importance to litigants. It
Is held that In an, action of foreclosure,
commenced prior to the repeal of section
M7 of tho code of civil procedure, tho court
Is authorized to enter a deficiency Judg
ment against those persons liable for the
debt when a deficiency exists, notwith
standing tho repeal of that section. The
opinion Is by Commissioner Dufflo and the
syllabus states the law as follows:
. Whero facts showing defendant's
liability for a deficiency aro set out in the
petition to forecloso and Judgment for a
deficiency against thoso personally liable
lor the debt is prayed the court has Juris
diction, after a sale of the mortgaged
premises, to enter n deficiency Judgment
ngalnst the defendants so found liable on a
motion therefor by tho plaintiff.
3. Where, In a petition filed to obtain the
foreclosure of a mortgage, fncts aro al
leged nhnwlng a personal llnhlllty on the
part of the defendants for tho payment of
the debt, and Judgment for deficiency Is
nuked against them, and where tho court In
Its decree finds that they are personally
liable for the payment of any deficiency
that may exist after a sale of the mort
gaged premises, they cannot while such de
cree remains In force and unmodified, b
permitted whon Judgment for deficiency Is
sought to net up facets which existed when
the original decree was obtalnmL lo show
that they aro not liable. Stover v. Tomp
kins, 31 Neb.. 465.
4. Where, In a petition to foreclose a
mortgage, a deficiency Judgment Is nsked
ngalnst tho defendants, who are person
ally liable on the notes, the running of the
statute of limitations Is tolled as to such
notes as were not outlawed at the com
mencement of the action.
5. When a mortgage Is given to secure
three notes and at the date of the com
mencement of an action to forecloso tho
mortgage tho notn first maturing Is out
lawed so that no personal action could be
maintained thereon, and where the mort
sage security does not poll for sufficient to
pay the mortgage debt, the court shold not
ell the proceeds of the sale to be applied
first to tho payment of costs, and second
n h ratnlilv distributed In dlsrhnrse of nil
the notes, and should give Judgment for
deficiency against ine ueirnaanm oniy ior
1h amount remaining unpaid on the two
Hoi barred when the action was com
'menced after such ratable application nf
th proceeds of sale.

case, was not governed by that order, but
rather by the main Judgment In the case.
This theory would give the plaintiff one
year from date of main Judgment. The
party moving to dismiss contended that
the time for docketing should be reckoned
from tho time tho motion for a new trial
was overruled. The court sustained the
latter motion and dismissed the case, thus
holding that time Is reckoned from date
of overruling of motion for new trial. This
decision may affect many litigants who
have held different views and delayed ap

CHEYBNNE. Wyo., Dec. 5. (Special.)
The sheepmen of Carbon and Sweetwater
counties aro making arrangements for a
gigantic consolidation of their Interests In
grazing lands and will try to secure pos
session and cjntrol of all ,of the lands In
the Red desert for the grazing Of their
sheep. They will lease this land from
the Union Pacific, securing each alternate
section, and thereby secure control of ap
proximately 1 500,000 acres of the finest
grazing lands to be had In the west.
The object of the combine Is to exclude
sheepmen from Utah from encroaching upon
tho rights of local sheepmen by grazing
their flocks In the Red desert country and
also to put an end to difficulties between
local sheepmen and cattlemen.
For a number of years sheepmen have
been In the habit of coming In from Utah
and with their flocks cat off the range
held In reserve by local flockraasters for
winter feed and then, before the tax col
lector conies around, move back Into Utah.
Cattlemen of southern Wyoming are
charged with taking possession of the open
range and, by drawing deadlines nnd mak
ing threats, force the sheepmen out.
By leasing this vast tract of land the
sheepmen will be masters of the situation
and all trouble arising from a disposition
of the range will come to an end. An
effort was made a year ago by the sheep
men to secure the big pasture, but they
were unable to mnke satisfactory terms
with the railroad company.
The proposition has been telegraphed to
the Union Pacific's, general land office at
Omaha and It Is expected the deal will be
closed In a few days.

ESTABLISHMENT TOO LONG DELAYED
True Benevolent Association of Vir
ginia Hampers the Work of thn
Local .nrlct, hut It Will
,ot Be Dropped,
The co-operative grocery store to be
established by the colored people of Omaha,
nccordlng to the promoters, has received a
scverri setback by tho action of the True
Benevolent association of Richmond, Vs..
with n branch society in Omaha. The
local members of the association, It Is said,
claimed that It Is their duty to look out
for tho welfare of tho colored people and
that they would establish the co-operative
store themselves. Tho action on tho part
of the association throw a damper on the
enthusiasm of the colored people of Omaha
who were championing the enterprise and
nothing further has been done townrd es
tablishing the store. In the meantime the
association has done nothing. It Is. the
Intention of tho Omaha colored people,
should the association fall to do anything
by the first of the year, to complete their
plans and begin -work at ,onco on the new
store.
The colored people of Omaha have been
considering such an enterprise for a num
ber of years. Nothing was done, howover,
until last summer, when about seventy-five
represcntntlvo colored people met one night
In tho courthouse, discussed plans, ways
and means for the establishment of the
store nnd concluded the meeting by ap
pointing the different committees for active
work, to commence at once. It was shortly
after this meeting that the True Benevolent
association, It Is "said, filed Its demurrer,
claiming It was Its duty to establish such
a store nnd requesting the ome people to.
Ilensons for thr Store.
The men Interested say there are many
reasons why such an establishment would
be of benefit to tbe colored people of
Omabn. It was to have been established
exclusively by the colored people, tho
clerks and all employes were to be the
sons and daughters of the colored people.
Land the stock would be owned by the col
ored people. It would furnish a place for
the young colored bdya nnd girls to learn
business habits. It would give them employ
ment, keep them off tho streets nnd make
men and women of them. It was also the
Intention to sell groceries to the colored
people at prices lower than they are now
paying. Said one of tho prominent pro
moters: "We expected the hearty co-opcrntlon of
every colored person In Omaha, nnd wo
sco no reason why such a store would not
be n success. Other cities have them nnd
from reports they have sent us. all have
been successful. The action of tho associa
tion has been a drawback to us. We
stopped our work on Its account several
months ago, but It seems it baa done noth
ing. If It had gone on and done tho work
It would havo been alt right. Wo don't
cam who establishes such a store, Just so
It Is established. Howover. If the associa
tion does nothing by tbe first of the year
v,o will take up the work where we left off
anil the store will bo established."
