Opinion

The opinion of the court was delivered by

Johnston, C. J.:

This was an action brought by C. W. Herod to recover from W. O. Carter a parcél of land in Garden City which was sold for taxes in 1896 and which was conveyed by tax deed to E. M. Hatcher on February 12, 1900. Hatcher' transferred the lot to Carter in 1902, and since that time Carter has held [237] possession of, and made improvements upon, the lot. The only serious attack made upon the tax deed is that it is so indefinite in the description of the property conveyed as to render it absolutely void. On its face the deed is otherwise fair, and, having been of record more than five years when the action was begun, it is entitled to the' favorable presumptions that go with age. The property was sold and conveyed under this description: “The third 25-foot lot from the north side of lot 7, in block 27, in J. A. Stevens’s addition to the city of Garden City, situated in the county of Finney, in the state of Kansas.” In the record is the following plat, or diagram, of the property in controversy and surrounding lots, as derived from maps and •plats introduced in evidence:
