PEDERSON, Justice,
dissenting.
The opinion authored by Justice Paulson states: “Real estate taxes for the year 1931 were not paid and the property was sold to the county for taxes on December 13,1932.” The chain of title from which defendants-appellants’ interests arise goes back to the attempted conveyance of Caroline Pope on September 9, 1937 to her attorneys of a one-half interest in the property. At the time of this attempted conveyance, all that Caroline Pope could really give her attorneys was a right to redeem.
This is not a situation in which the principles from Beulah Coal Mining Co. v. Heihn, 46 N.D. 646, 180 N.W. 787 (1920); Bilby v. Wire, 77 N.W.2d 882 (N.D.1956); and Payne v. A.M. Fruh Company, 98 N.W.2d 27 (N.D.1959), can be applied. The opposite situation is present.
Mackoff and Kellogg have never' redeemed. The judgment should be affirmed.
