Bill by Frances I. Irwin against J.M. Shoemaker and others to quiet title to land and restrain trespass. From a decree dissolving a temporary injunction, complainant appeals. Affirmed.
Hybart Hare & Ratcliffe, of Monroeville, for appellant.
Hamilton & Page and J.S. Stearns, all of Evergreen, for appellees.
