Arnold.\nOpinion rendered April 27, 1901.\nINTERVENTION \u2014 Judgment.\u2014Where plaintiff sought to restrain defendants from cutting timber on land claimed by him, and defendants claimed the right to cut under a third person who was permitted to intervene, setting up title in herself, on finding the issues in favor of the intervener judgment should be a dismissal of the bill for want of equity, and not a decree quieting the intervener\u2019s title.\nAppeal from Izard Circuit Court.\nJno. B. MoGaleb, Judge.\nAction by Watkins against Arnold and others to enjoin defendants from cutting timber on land claimed by plaintiff under a tax title. Defendants denied plaintiff\u2019s title, and alleged that Jane Gray was the owner of the land, and that they had authority from her to cut the timber. \u2022 She was permitted to intervene and set up title in herself. The court denied the injunction, and decreed that plaintiff\u2019s tax title be canceled and intervener\u2019s title quieted. Plaintiff has appealed.\nJ. A. Watkins, for appellant.\nAppellee was not in possession adversely to appellant\u2019s title. 58 Ark. 512; 34 Ark. 84: 15 Am. Dec. 433; 33 id. 165; 45 Ark. 427; 60 Ark. 70.
