On Appellant’s Motion for Rehearing.
Appellant questions the accuracy of the following fact finding:
“Other than as shown by the deeds to the 5-acre tract, the conveyance by Gotcher of Block 4, Highland View Addition, and the conveyance by Sullivan to Lambert of Lots 1, 2 and 3, Block 8, Highland View Addition, there are no deeds shown to any portion of Highland View Addition.”
The record does show that block 4 of Highland View addition was conveyed by Coffee and Groves to Courtney Gray on March 4, 1907; however, as shown in our original opinion, this entire block was shortly thereafter purchased by Gotcher for the purpose of widening Ninth street, and, when sold by him to Richardson, a 19-foot strip along the northeast side of Ninth street was reserved for street purposes. This conveyance to Gray, however, in no way affects our original holding, since Gray’s title passed to Gotcher, who purchased for the sole purpose of broadening and straightening Ninth street, and, when conveyed by him, this purpose was carried out by reservation in his deed.
With this explanation, the motion for rehearing is overruled.
