1. ““Count 11 of plaintiffs’ petition is based upon the premise that said insurance policy, although standing in the name of the Kiewits alone, was carried for the benefit of both the sellers and the buyers as their interest might appear, since the buyers were obligated by the contract for deed to maintain and pay for said insurance. The law of Missouri is well settled that where the mortgagee, under an agreement with the mortgagor, insures the mortgaged property at the charge of the mortgagor, the insurance proceeds, in the event of loss, must be applied by the mortgagee toward the extin-guishment of the debt or the restoration of the property, and the mortgagor eis entitled to have an account taken of the proceeds.’ (Citing many cases.) “As defendants have intimated in their brief, we do not have a true mortgagor-mortgagee relationship here. However, the rule of law applicable in mortgagor-mortgagee cases has also been applied where the property is destroyed while the same is subject to a contract for deed or contract for sale as here * * *.” (Emphasis supplied.)”
