1. “[t]he difficulty with defendant’s position is that he did not introduce any evidence, by deed or otherwise, showing that he held legal title, or even color of title, to that portion of the road which he admittedly damaged. He offered no evidence showing the location of his true boundary line. He offered no evidence concerning the location of the damaged portion of the road with reference to his true boundary line. In short, although defendant may have believed that he had a right to plow the road, he adduced no evidence showing reasonable grounds for that belief.”
