Defendants acquired the property in 1928. Since then they have not actually occupied nor paid taxes on the property. An Auditors Deed was issued to the county for failure to pay delinquent taxes before the so-called May Sale, pursuant to claimed statutory authority.

No claim is made that the deed was not valid on its face or that it was not issued by the proper governmental authority.
