This is a suit by Ernest Sanders, Jr. to quiet title to a strip of land 50 feet wide and 350 feet long on the west side of Frl. Block 22 of Maxfields Second Eastern Addition to the City of Batesville, Arkansas, and to cancel a deed of said lands from Alph Shirley and wife to appellee, Leona Baker. Appellant asserted ownership of the disputed strip by adverse possession since November 3, 1938, when he purchased four lots in Frl. Block 22 adjoining the land in controversy on the east from Claude Hill and wife. All of Frl. Block 22 was formerly owned by Theodore Maxfield, who conveyed the four lots now owned by appellant to the latters predecessor in title about 1905. On December 12, 1947, the executors of the Maxfield estate conveyed lots 1 and 6 in Frl. Block 22 to Alph Shirley and wife who conveyed to appellee on April 2, 1948.
