certain lands in Elfelt's addition to Oak.
Park, and that the defendant is occupy
ing with its tracks and poles strip six
ty-six feet wide extending from the
SOutherly line of the addition in north

claim on alleged fact that the supposed

in question by the railway track was
never properly laid out, though it had
been used by the public for years, and
