Wisconsin Supreme Court April 12, 1887 (Semple v. Whorton)

Cassoday, J.

It appears from the record that October 31, 1872, the county clerk of Shawano county executed and acknowledged a tax deed for the unpaid taxes of 1868, on the sale of 1869, purporting to convey to that county the forty acres of land, the title to which is alleged in the complaint to have been in one Andrew Yang at the time the Whortons purported to convey the same to the plaintiff.
