Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. Tax Sale — Redemption Notice — Time in which to Redeem. Where a delinquent tax sale was held on September 4, 1900, and the final redemption notice stated that lands sold at that sale must be redeemed on or before September 4, 1903, or they would be deeded to the purchasers, such notice gave full three years after the sale for redemption, and was not void.</p> <p>2. - Amount Necessary to Redeem — Consideration Stated in Tax Deed. Where a tax deed recites the amount which the grantee in the deed paid for the certificate, giving the date, and also states the amount of subsequent taxes paid, without giving the date of payment, and the final redemption notice gives as the amount necessary to redeem a sum claimed to be in excess of the proper amount, the deed will not be deemed invalid for that reason if the amount of these payments, with interest computed on each sum from the earliest date at which it could have been legally paid, equals or exceeds the sum stated in such notice.</p> <p>3. Practice, District Court — Reopening Case — Additional Evidence. Where the district court, after the trial of a case without a jury, takes it under advisement, and one of the parties on the next day, when court is in session, makes application to introduce further testimony, which is refused for the reason that the evidence should have been presented at the proper time, this court can not say that such action of the court is an abuse of discretion and therefore erroneous.</p>
