Beck v. Hanson

This is an appeal by the Southside National Bank of Missoula from the judgment of Missoula County District Court, sitting without a jury. The judgment decreed that respondents, Edwin Anderson and A.L. Anderson, may satisfy their mechanics lien for masonry work performed on certain previously unimproved real property from the proceeds of a sheriffs sale of all improvements currently located thereon. Southside National Bank of Missoula had been beneficiary of two trust indentures encumbering the unimproved parcels and later became purchaser of the improved parcels at a trustees foreclosure sale, pursuant to the Small Tract Financing Act, section 52-401 et seq., R.C.M. 1947.
