In an action involving real property any person appearing in any
manner in the title thereto, or claiming or appearing to claim some
interest in the real property involved, may be included as a party
defendant by naming such person as a party defendant in the caption
of such petition; and when such person is made a defendant in the
body of the petition under the appellation of substantially the
following words "said defendant named herein claims some right,
title, lien, estate, encumbrance, claim, assessment or interest in
and to the real property involved herein, adverse to plaintiff which
constitutes a cloud upon the title of plaintiff and defendant has no
right, title, lien, estate, encumbrance, claim, assessment or
interest, either in law or in equity, in and to the real property
involved herein", that same is sufficient to include any and all
claims, known or unknown, that such defendant may have in and to the
real property involved in such case, it not being necessary to set
out the reason in the petition, or other pleading, for such person
being made a party defendant.
