        "text": "Grieein Smith, C. J.\nAppellee was a tenant in common with others, each owning a one-sixth interest in forty acres of land inherited from their father. The property forfeited in 1920 for non-payment of state and county taxes. In 1933 title was confirmed in the state under authority of Act 296 of 1929.\nCollier Anderson and another, in 1937, purchased the state\u2019s interest, After recording their deed they brought ejectment. Appellee, Carl Odom, as guardian for Coetha Odom, intervened. The cause was transferred to chancery. The agreed statement shows that James Odom, common ancestor, and' appellee and co-tenants, have been in possession of the property for more than forty years, and that Coetha Odom has been insane from birth.\nThe guardian offered to redeem the entire tract; to pay interest, costs, etc. Appellants admitted the ward\u2019s right of redemption as to a one-sixth interest, but insisted that the right did not extend to the five-sixths owned by the other heirs. There was a decree permitting the guardian to redeem the entire tract, from which comes this appeal.\nAct 296 of 1929 provides that \u201cThe decree of the court confirming the sale to the state shall operate as a complete bar against any and all persons who may hereafter claim said land in consequence of any informality or illegality in the proceedings; and the title to land shall be considered as confirmed and complete in the state forever.; saving, however, to infants, persons of unsound mind, imprisoned beyond the seas, or out of the jurisdiction of the United States, the right to appear and contest the state\u2019s title to said lands within one year after the disability may be removed.\u201d\nAppellee\u2019s claim is not based upon any informality or illegality in the sale to the state, or in the confirmation of title. Pour years elapsed between confirmation and purchase by appellants from the state, during which time appellee did nothing.\nWe think the case of Harris v. Harris, 195 Ark. 184, 112 S. W. 2d 40, is controlling here. While it is true that in the Harris Case there had been no confirmation, yet the confirmation statute expressly reserves to persons under disability the right to redeem within a year after such disability has been removed.\nIn the case just referred to it was said: \u201cWe conclude, therefore, that the proper construction of our redemption statute not only permits, but requires a co-tenant who wishes to redeem any portion of a tract, where the taxes thereon have been assessed in solido, to redeem the entire tract.\u201d\nReasons for this rule are clearly set out in the opinion in the Harris Case. See, also, Reynolds v. Plants, 196 Ark. 116, 116 S. W. 2d 350.\nThe decree is affirmed.",
