(b) The claim of an appeal shall suspend the operation of any order or decree appealed from, but, in the case of default in taking the procedure required, the suspension shall cease, and the district court upon motion of any party shall proceed as if no claim of appeal has been made, unless it be made to appear to the district court that the default no longer exists.
