helISj ueVlSeeS or assigns may claim IN said
real estate; that it is impossible for the
plaintiff to further describe the said parties,
or their interest or to state more definitely
whether said parties claim as heirs, deyisees
or assigns, or grantees of said deceased,
and he cannot insert their names because
they are unknown to him; that he cannot
describe their interest more definitely for
the reason that the above contains all the
information that plaintiff has or can obtain
as to said parties, their names, or the nature
OF their claims, or the extent of the same.
Plaintiff further states that the defendants
are asserting or claiming some right, title OF
interest, in and to said lands adverse to
plaintiff and which are a cloud on the title
of the plaintiff. Plaintiff further states that
the above described land has been in the
acual, open, notorious, hostile aud adverse
possession of said plaintiff and his grantors
since the 4th day of September, 1873, to the
present time, under and by virtue of deeds
duly recorded in the deed records of Iron
County, and that he and his grantors have
paid taxes thereon during all these years.
Plaintiff further alleges that all of the de-
PENDANTS are non-residents of the State OF
Missouri and that the ordinary and custom
airy process of this Court cannot be served
on the defendants in this State.
Wherefore plaintiff prays the Court to en-
ter of record a decree declaring the
title to the above described real estate
to be vested in plaintiff under and
by virtue Of the statute to perfect
title by limitation in such cases made and
provided by section 653 at page 262 of the
