The complaint is to recover judgment on the note and to foreclose a vendor’s lien. Appellee Crum filed a cross-complaint, alleging suretyship by him on the note, and *152setting up a written contract of indemnity between bim and the appellant, alleging payment of the note by him and asking to be subrogated to the rights of appellee Stewart, and that a lien be declared in his favor on the house mentioned in the complaint, and the same to be sold to satisfy cross-complainant’s lien. The court made a special finding and decreed a lien in favor of the cross-complainant.
