Elliott, J.

The appellants executed their promissory note to Leroy Wilson, ‍​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​‌‍and he endorsed it to the appellee on the 13th day of March, 1884. At that time she ‍​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​‌‍was the wife of Leroy Wilson.

A wife may buy a promissory note from her husband, and his endorsement will ‍​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​‌‍convey the note to her as an endorsee.

It was her money, ‍​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​‌‍ánd not her husband‘s. R. S. 1881, sec. 5130.

Judgment affirmed.
