Millikan v. Patterson

— Action by the appellee against the appellants to quiet the title to forty acres of land in Howard county.

The appellants answered jointly by the general denial. The appellant Frank M. Millikan also filed a cross complaint *516against the appellee, asserting title to the same laud under a tax deed, and asking to have his title quieted or his lien for taxes enforced. The appellee answered in-two paragraphs, first, the general denial; and second, admitting the tax sale, but setting up facts showing it was invalid, and averring a tender before suit of the whole amount then due on the tax lien.
