Opinion

McDONOUGH, Chief Justice.

Defendants appeal from a decree of the ■district court whereby a deed was reformed in accordance with the contention of the plaintiff. The trial court also adjudged that plaintiff had acquired title to the disputed tract by adverse possession.

From a review of both the record and the findings of the lower court, the facts are as follows:

In February, 1916, the defendant, Parley N. Hodges, secured from the United States Government a patent to Lot Five, Section Thirty-three, Township 14 North of Range 5 East, Salt Lake Meridian, containing 16.51 acres. Bear Lake abutted this land-on the north, and a government survey in 1875 had established the me-anderline of the lake as the north boundary of the said lot 5. At some distance to the south of lot 5, a state highway ran parallel to the lake. From the highway, a road extended in a northeasterly direction to the shore of Bear Lake, cutting lot 5 into two parcels — one to the east of the road and one to the west. (See the attached diagram).
