The only question involved is whether the intervenor is an adverse party within the meaning of section 5400, G. S. 1894. We answer the question in the negative. There was no common interest between the various parties to the action. Each was contending “ownership independent of each other, and, the court having ordered judgment for plaintiff, the interest of the intervenor in the property depended upon independent action by him, and unless he took steps to perfect an appeal he was bound by the judgment. Plaintiff, having prevailed, was the only party interested upon the appeal in case the judgment of the trial court should be reversed. Oases of this character are clearly distinguishable from Kells v. Nelson-Tenney Lumber Co., 74 Minn. 8, 76 N. W. 790, which was a case in insolvency and the parties were all interested in the sub'jeet-matter of the action.
Let the writ issue as prayed for, directing the respondent to settle the proposed case in accordance with the facts and sign it.
