1. ““The mortgage [in the Kansas case] ivas executed before any conveyances of the platted part of the tract had been made. The description, according to the usual subdivisions of the section, ivas apt and complete. In the absence of evidence to the contrary it must be presumed that the intention was to mortgage the property described and not merely a part of it. An exception or reservation will not be presumed merely because part of the property has been platted.””
