Hightower v. Russ
Hightower v. Russ
Opinion of the Court
Appellants initiated the instant case by filing an ejectment action against appel-lees. The jury found against appellants who have now appealed.
The law of this state has always commanded that the petitioner in an ejectment action recover on the strength of his own title and not on alleged weaknesses of the claims of others to the land.
The judgment appealed is affirmed.
