Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. Quieting Title — Suit against Tax-deed, Holder — Statute of Limitations. Where a suit to quiet title to land is begun against several defendants less than five years after a certain tax deed thereto has been recorded, and the holder of such tax deed is not made a defendant in the suit or brought into court until more than five years after the recording of his deed, the suit will be deemed to be commenced as to him when he was brought into court, and he will then be entitled to avail himself of the protection and presumptions which the lapse of the statutory limitation gives to a tax deed.</p> <p>2. Tax Deed — Compromise Act — Granting Clause — Consideration. A tax deed executed under the compromise provision (Laws 1893, eh. 110, § 4; Gen. Stat. 1901, § 7672), in substantial compliance with the requirements of that provision, and attacked more than five years after it was recorded, is not void on its face because the granting clause of the deed does not specify the particular years for the taxes of which the land was conveyed.</p>
