Candler v. Dodge County Lumber Co.

1. Since the vendee of land held under a bond for title from the vendor is, as to third persons, to all intents and purposes the true owner of the land, it follows that one who purchases timber from the vendee and removes it from the land is not, in the absence of any contractual relation with the vendor, accountable to the vendor for the value thereof.
