containing one and one-quarter acres
all in Winneshiek county, Iowa. That
plaintiff is creditably informed and
believes that the defendants and each
of them make some claim adverse
to the estate of plaintiff in said prop
erty. The said plaintiff states the
interests which the various parties
defendant claim to have and the man
ner in which the same is claimed to
have been derived as follows to-wit:
That upon to-wit August goth,
1891, one Michael Omlie died seized
in fee of the southwest quarter of
the southwest quarter of the south
east quarter of section 33, township
SO north, range west of the 5th P.
M, in Winneshiek county. Iowa; that
said Michael Omlie died testate and
by the terms of his will he devised
said real estate to Ole NJ Omlie and
defendants Alice Lardel and Emily
r. Omlie, in equal undivided inter-
ests. No conveyance of said prem
Uses executed by defendants Alice
Lardel and Andrew Lardel, her hus-
band and Emily r. Omlie and
Omlie, her husband, purporting to-
convey title from them, is of record
in Winneshiek county, Iowa, and as
to whether one has ever been exec
uted, this defendant knows not.
That upon to-wit December 18th,
1858, one William Klonts obtained
and caused to be recorded special
warranty deed to lot of the north
east quarter of the southeast quart
er of section 49, township SO north,
range Z west of the fifth P. NJ. in
Winneshiek county, Iowa.
| That thereafter William Klontz ex-
ecuted a warranty deed to said prem
/ Uses to John Adam Kern, but said
warranty deed was destroyed by fire
before the same was ever recorded
| in the recorders Office in Winneshiek
county, Iowa.
That if there are any other UNI
known claimants or owners of said
real estate, except as above set out,
/ then the owners and claimants of the
same are unknown to this plaintiff,
although he has sought diligently to
learn the names and residences OF
such unknown owners and claimants.
That the unknown heirs and claim
ants of each of the defendants above
named are unknown to plaintiff al
though he has sought diligently to
learn the names and residences of
such unknown heirs and claimants.
I That all of the right title or inter-
est which either of the defendants
ever had in and to any part OF said
premises, has long been barred by
the Statute of Limitations and lost
by adverse possession.
Upon the foregoing facts plaintiff
asks that it be ordered, adjudged and
decreed that the title and estate of
the estate of Frank l.. Stinson, de-
ceased, in and to all of the real prop
erty heretofore described, be estab-
lished as therein alleged against the
adverse claims of defendants to this
action and that all the defendants to
this action and all persons claiming
by or through them or either OF them
be barred and forever estopped from
having or claiming any title adverse
to the plaintiff in and TO any of said
premises and that the title thereto
be quieted in the estate of Frank L..
lStinson, deceased, and that any of the
defendants in any way contesting
plaintiffs rights as above alleged be
duJuuScu " pay thc SoS'S VI 'h'o -"

ment for such other and further re-
lief as may be equitable in the prem
Uses.
