R. B. Caldwell and David A. Murphy, both of Kansas City, Mo. (H. L. McCune, of Kansas City, Mo., on the brief), for plaintiff.
Charles W. German, of Kansas City, Mo. (Lee C. Hull and Charles Z. German, both of Kansas City, Mo., on the brief), for defendant.
Before BOOTH, Circuit Judge, and PHILLIPS and JOHN B. SANBORN, District Judges.
This was a suit by the Stockyards Loan Company (hereafter called the loan company), a citizen of Missouri, against the Commercial National Bank of Independence, Kan. (hereafter called the bank), a citizen of Kansas, for an accounting of alleged proceeds from the sale of cattle owned and sold by Albert Gottlieb, but upon which the loan company claimed to hold chattel mortgages.

The master further found:
The master recommended judgment in favor of the bank. The loan company filed numerous exceptions to the master's report. The trial court, after a careful consideration and review of the master's report, disposed of the exceptions in an opinion which concludes as follows:
