§58-486.
   
   At any sale under order of the district court, of lands upon which
   there is a mortgage or lien, the holder thereof may become the
   purchaser, and his receipt for the amount due him from the proceeds of
   the sale is a payment pro tanto. If the amount for which he purchased
   the property is insufficient to defray the expenses and discharge his
   mortgage or lien, he must pay to the judge an amount sufficient to pay
   such expenses.
