Syllabus

<p>Accounting — Interpleader—Action—Nature. An action is for an accounting and not one of interpleader, where the plaintiffs brought into court a balance admitted to be due and claimed by defendants and their creditors, without first having had an accounting as provided for by the contract, and prayed that the plaintiffs be allowed the sum deducted, and it appeared that the amount was in dispute and was less than the sum found to be due by the court upon an accounting.</p> <p>Costs — Accounting. In an action in the nature of an interpleader, but in fact for an accounting, in which the amount was in dispute, costs may be awarded against the plaintiffs instead of against the-amount paid into court by plaintiffs, where the court found a greater sum to be due from'the plaintiffs.</p> <p>Loos and Logging — Liens—Tools. A lien upon logs cannot be ■claimed for a cable, boom chains, shoeing horses, and like articles furnished merely as tools and appliances for carrying on the work of logging.</p>
