HANSON, Judge.

[82 S.D. 418] In October, 1960 plaintiff and defendant became joint purchasers of ranch property in Lyman County under a contract for deed. Defendant Strand defaulted in some of his payments which were paid by plaintiff. Thereafter, plaintiff commenced an

action to have defendant's interest in the contract for deed impressed with an equitable lien and for foreclosure of the same. This relief was granted by the trial court and on January 3, 1964, judgment was entered which decreed in part:

'(4) Plaintiff having an equitable lien against Defendant's one half interest in the said contract exhibit A to secure the repayment of funds advanced by her for Defendant's share of the obligations imposed by said contract exhibit A, with costs and legal interest thereon, in total amount of $21,793.44, Plaintiff may proceed to foreclose the same in the manner provided by SDC 1960 Supp. Chapter 37.33 entitled 'Foreclosure of Liens on Personal Property By Action,' such foreclosure to be by sale of Defendant's entire interest in the said contract exhibit A, the same being indivisible; and

'(5) The Sheriff of Lyman County, S. Dak. is here directed forthwith to conduct foreclosure sale of Defendant's entire interest in said contract exhibit A in the manner provided by law and this Decree, and thereafter to apply the proceeds of the sale, after first deducting his costs and expenses of conducting same, to satisfaction of the amount hereinbefore decreed to be due Plaintiff with interest at the legal rate until paid, and in event there be any surplus remaining thereafter, that the same be paid over directly to the Defendant, Walter M. Strand, and in event the said Defendant cannot be located for that purpose, you are to provide for the safe-keeping of any such surplus until it is claimed and paid to him or such other person as may be legally entitled thereto.

'(6) That the Court shall retain jurisdiction to enter such other and further Order and Decrees as may be necessary to carry out this decree.'
