Opinion

Opinion of the Court by

Drury, Commissioner

Affirming.

Paris Karr was nnsnccessfnl in the trial court, and has appealed. He sued Will Ray, Calla Ray, Harve Lloyd, and George Lawson, and charged them with having entered upon the land of the plaintiff and having cut down and converted to their own use valuable timber thereon; with having destroyed the crops growing thereon, and other similar trespasses. All of the defendants fade out of the picture except Will Ray, and, to avoid repeating unnecessary names, we shall treat this as a contest between Paris Karr and Will Ray.

The principal question involved in this controversy is the location of the property of Paris Karr, and, in order that this opinion may be more easily understood, we have from the plats in the record prepared a plat of the premises, and have located the Karr tract as the trial court probably located it, and have also tried to locate the Karr tract as he .insists it should be located.

There are three patents involved in this controversy. We shall begin with the youngest, which is patent No, 69451 for 1178/100 acres which was issued to Paris Karr on the 7th day of August, 1920. It is inclosed on the map by heavy solid lines, and, to more sharply call it to attention, it is shaded in with parallel lines drawn thereon. This tract is thus described:

“A certain tract or parcel of land, containing 117S/ioo acres, by survey, bearing the date 14th day of August, Nineteen hundred and eighteen, lying and being in Laurel County, adjoining the lands of Moren, and Reams, Needles, Paris Karr, and Elleander Coal & Iron Co. Beginning on a stone in Moren & Reams line; thence with their line N. 85 E. 28 poles to a stone in Moren & Reams line, continuing with their line N. 62 E. 36 3/11 poles to a chestnut stump. Moren and Reams corner, also Needles corner, thence
