When applied to the possession of an occupant of real estate holding adversely it is not to be construed as showing ill-will, or that he is an enemy of the person holding the legal title; but it means an occupant who holds and is in possession as owner, and therefore against all other claimants of the land.
Ballard v. Hansen, 33 Neb. 861, 51 N. W. 295.
