[No. 3416.]
    Empire Ranch and Cattle Co. v. Ellis et al.
    Quieting Title — Plaintiff’s Title. A defendant who shows no title in himself will not be heard to raise objections to the title of plaintiff. Foster v. Olarlo, 21 Col. Ap., 192, followed.
    
      Appeal from Yuma County Court. Hon. J. S. Hendrie, Judge.
    Mr. August Muntzing, Mr. Egbert More, for appellant.
    Mr. Isaac Pelton, for appellees.
   Per Curiam.

Appellant, as plaintiff below, brought this action in the county court of Yuma county to quiet title to certain lands in Yuma county. Defendants Ellis and Clark answered, and also by cross complaint asked that title to the land in question be quieted in them. Shea disclaimed. On the trial plaintiff offered two certain tax deeds which were held by the court to be void on their face, and therefore inadmissible. These deeds, so offered by plaintiff, constituted its sole evidence of title. They were each void on their face for various reasons not necessary to point but. Indeed, appellant .makes no claim in its brief to the contrary, hut contents itself with certain objections to appellees’ title which cannot be raised by appellant, under the ruling in Foster v. Clark, 21 Col. App., 192; 121 Pac., 130.

The judgment of the county court is affirmed.

Affirmed.
