¶1The deed to Hertzler being expressly in trust was a conclusive answer to the allegation of a resulting trust. If a man purchase a property and takes a deed in the name of one or more of his children, it is prima facie an advancement, and there was no evidence to change the legal effect of the instrument.
¶2Judgment affirmed.
