Supreme Court of Iowa
Appeal from Iowa District Court. — Hon. E. P. Howell, Judge. Action to quiet title to an eighty-acre tract of land in Iowa county. There was a decree for plaintiff, and defendants appeal.
1Opinion of the CourtMcClain, C. J.
Plaintiff claims title to the land in-controversy as trustee under deeds from Cornelins O’Donnell and Hugh O’Donnell, asserting title thereto under deeds from their father, James O’Donnell, who is still living. The deeds to plaintiff were made as the result of settlement of a suit in which the mental capacity of James O’Donnell was called in question. It is conceded that plaintiff, as trustee, has succeeded to the entire title which James O’Donnell at any time had in the premises, and said James O’Donnell will be spoken of in this opinion as the plaintiff.
