Court | Missouri Supreme Court |
Appeal from Circuit Court, Laclede County; L. B. Woodside, Judge.
Action by W. I. Wallace and others against E. L. Libby. Judgment for plaintiffs, and defendant appeals. Dismissed.
This is an equitable proceeding, begun in the Laclede circuit court November 29, 1905, for the purpose of removing a cloud from the title of certain real estate, situate in said county, and especially described in the petition, and which plaintiffs claimed to own, and to enjoin the sale of same by Sam Farrar, trustee, under a deed of trust executed by Charles F. Clough and Walter Clough, in which the defendant, E. L. Libby, was named as the beneficiary; also for the purpose of quieting the title to said real estate. A temporary injunction was granted by the trial court, and upon the final hearing was made perpetual. The relief prayed for in the petition was granted and the title quieted. From that judgment and decree, the defendant duly appealed to this court.
