OPINION TEXT STARTS HERE
Syllabus by the Court.
1. To entitle a party to claim by adverse possession he must have made an actual entry upon the lands and occupied the same as owner. This occupancy, however, may be continued by his agents and servants.
2. The possession must be actual, notorious, continuous, and exclusive, and may be by fencing and pasturing the land, cultivation, etc., and the payment of taxes.

4. An action to recover the possession of land may be brought against those in possession thereof, although some of the parties may be absent from the state.
