LexcSnegiect to read. — I. Before appellant brought the present suit, she instituted a similar one. In both suits, she seeks to quiet title to described lands, claiming that same became her property by gift of her grandfather, Michael Shriver. In both she claims that, from March, 1896, on, she and her husband had lived on the land, claimed to be absolute owners in fee simple; that plaintiff has maintained hostile, adverse, and uninterrupted possession as against the world; and that the defendants, the children of Michael. Shriver, are making adverse claims, and denying that said gift was made.
