Johnson v. Conner
Washington Supreme Court
Appeal from a judgment of the superior court for King county, Albertson, J., entered February 20, 1907, upon findings in favor of the defendants, after a trial on the merits before the court without a jury, in an action to quiet title.
1Opinion of the CourtRoot, J.
In the year 1883, appellant established a home upon certain lands abutting the shores of Smith’s Cove, in *432King county. These lands had been conveyed by the government to one Dr. Smith some years before, and he was the owner thereof at the time of the entry by appellant. The latter, however, claims that he supposed the land to belong to the government and to be subject to entry, and that he went upon the same with the intention of acquiring the title thereto under the land laws of the government. He continued to reside upon said premises until the commencement of the present suit in 1907.
