By the Court,
This is an appeal from a judgment entered upon an order sustaining a motion for a nonsuit. Appellants brought their action for restitution of a certain parcel of land described as lot 1 in block 3 of the Phenix North addition to the town of Goldfield. The complaint alleged that on the 26th day of August, 1905, and for a long time prior thereto, one George Brunswick was the owner of said lot. That on the day last mentioned the plaintiff, C. W. Long, brought his certain action upon a money demand against the said Brunswick, and attached the said lot in question; that thereafter, and on the 9th day of January, 1906, judgment was obtained in said action in favor of the plaintiff Long and against the said defendant Brunswick; that execution was issued upon said judgment, and the said property therefore attached was

Subdivision 3 reads: "In actions where the service of the summons was by publication, the plaintiff, upon the expiration of the time, within which by law the defendant is required to answer, may, upon proof of the publication and that no answer has been filed, apply for judgment; and the court shall thereupon require proof to be made of the demand mentioned in the complaint, and if the defendant be not a resident of the state, shall require the plaintiff, or his agent, to be examined on oath respecting any payments that have been made to the plaintiff, or to any one for his use, on account of such demand, and may render judgment for the amount which he is entitled to recover. * * *”
While the section of the statute relative to publication of summons provides that personal service without the
Judgment reversed, and cause remanded for a new trial.
