Whether, on the record provided here, a1908 tax sale of an unseated parcel of land, induced by the surface owner's failure to pay taxes on the estate, and made to an agent of the defaulting surface owner, constitutes a title wash, thereby divesting the subsurface owner of his interest in the estate?
