MR. JUSTICE ANGSTMAN
(concurring in part).
I agree that this case is ruled by Lowery v. Garfield County, 122 Mont. 571, 208 Pac. (2d) 478, but I disagreed with the majority opinion in that case as shown by my dissenting opinion therein,-and with the subsequent cases wherein the majority refused to overrule it. It is my opinion that it should be overruled as unsound.
Likewise, I do not believe it is of any importance that plaintiff recorded his deed before defendants acquired their interest. The important fact is that plaintiff did not obtain his deed until after Jefferson County had taken a tax deed to the lands.
*473Accepting the Lowery case as stare decisis, I concur with the majority opinion herein solely on that ground.
MR. JUSTICE ADAIR, dissents.
