A Missouri couple brought an action for trespassing under a statute that provides for triple damages for the removal of timber. The petition alleged that the couple owned property, from which others removed timber with the permission of a third party, who possessed the property under a contract for deed.

That is because the statute, like a common law action for trespass, protects possession, not ownership.
