Action in the district court for Morrison county under R. L. 1905, ?§ 972, to quiet title. The answer of August Berg alleged that he was owner in fee simple of the land described. The case was tried before Nye, J., who made findings and ordered judgment that defendant Berg was owner in fee, subject only to the lien for taxes held by plaintiff, and ordered that the land be sold to satisfy the lien. From an order denying plaintiff’s motion for a new trial, he appealed.
1Opinion of the Court
Dibell, C.
The plaintiff, the holder of a tax certificate, brought this action under R. L. 1905, § 972, to quiet title. The court found that the plaintiff’s tax title was invalid; that the defendant was the owner in fee; and it gave the plaintiff a lien pursuant to the provisions of said *181section. The plaintiff appeals from an order denying his motion for a new trial. The validity of his tax title is the only question.
