1Opinion of the CourtDoster, C. J.
This was an action of ejectment. Thomas Van Meter was at one time the owner of the land. In 1860, a judgment was recovered against him, and the land was sold for its payment. Since 1861, the land has been in the actual, open possession of the original purchaser or her grantees, either in person or by tenants. For the first eleven years this possession was by residents of Kansas; for the next ten years, by non-residents ; for the next five, by residents, and since then, by non-residents. The defendants in error claim under this sale and by virtue of these years of possession.
