Opinion

CORFMAN, J.

This action was brought by the plaintiff to determine its rights to a strip of ground one rod wide and two rods long, situate in block 7, plat A, Salt Lake City survey.

Block 7 consists of eight city lots, numbered one to eight, both numbers inclusive. In the year 1889 John F.

Said deed was recorded in the office of the county recorder of Salt Lake County. The strip in question was also marked upon the ground by fence lines on the east and west sides and closed by a fence to the south so as to make it a blind alley. Subsequently, without reference to the strip of land in question as an alley, or otherwise, Heath, by deed dated September 12, 1889, conveyed a part of his holdings in said block, nine by ten rods, described by metes and bounds, lying immediately west of said strip and abutting on Third West and Eighth South streets, to William J. Lemp, a predecessor in interest of the plaintiff. Afterwards, by deed dated June 26, 1909, Heath conveyed the strip of land in question, with other lands in said block, to William J. Barrette, a predecessor in interest of the defendant, and therefore the respective parties to this action, deraign their title to lands in said block, including the strip of lands involved herein, from one common source. To better illustrate the respective holdings of the parties in said block, with respect to said strip of ground, we have the following plat:
