PO'LLEY, J.

¶1(dissenting). I am not able to concur in the •majority opinion in this case. I think 'the evidence not only fails to support the verdict, but that circumstances, not questioned by either party, prove conclusively that plaintiff knew the land that was shown him in section 21 was no part of section 15. Upon the record before this court, the judgment appealed1 from ought toi be reversed, and the 'action dismissed at plaintiff’s cost.
