1. “"No rule is better established in this jurisdiction than the one that findings of fact supported by substantial competent evidence are conclusive and will not be disturbed on appellate review even though the record discloses some evidence which might have warranted the trial court in making findings to the contrary. For some of our more recent decisions where the rule is discussed, applied, and adhered to, see In re Estate of House, 164 Kan. 613 , 192 P.2d 177 ; Bradbury v. Wise, 167 Kan. 737 , 208 P.2d 209 ; Oetken v. Shell, 168 Kan. 244, 248 , 212 P.2d 329 ; In re Estate of Spark, 168 Kan. 270 , 212 P.2d 369 ; In re Estate of Anderson, 168 Kan. 299 , 212 P.2d 375 ; State, ex rel., v. Rural High-School District No. 3, 169 Kan. 671, 677 , 220 P.2d 164 . Many other decisions of like import are cited in West's Kansas Digest, Appeal & Error, § 1010 (1), 1011 (1); Hatcher's Kansas Digest, Appeal & Error, §§ 507, 508."”

2. ““During the term at which a judgment is rendered the district court may, in the exercise of sound discretion, vacate its own orders or judgments, and when an order or judgment is so vacated, the previously existing status is restored and the situation is the same as though the order or judgment had never been made. The issues stand again for trial or for such other disposition as may be appropriate to the situation.” (Syl. jfl.)”
