Syllabus

<p>Boundaries — Ascertainment—Evidence—Sufficiency. There is sufficient evidence of the location of a disputed boundary line, the starting point of which was given as the center of F. street in a town plat, 823.5 .feet north of a certain government corner, where it appears that the center of F. street is 823.5 feet north of the center of S. street, as given by the plat, the accuracy of the plat not being disputed, and that the government stake originally stood in the center of S. street, although it has long since disappeared.</p> <p>Same — Description—Calls—Discrepancies. Where a description first calls for the north boundary of- the tract as at the center of a street, and runs thence south a certain number of feet to a railroad right of way for the south boundary, the first call prevails over the last call in determining the location of the north boundary, where there is a shortage between the two boundaries.</p>
