Government lot 3, in section 6, township 74, range 16, in Mahaska county, embraces substantially the W. % of the N. W. *4 of the section, so far as not included within the meander lines of the Des Moines river, as shown on the following plat:
This government lot 3 was subsequently subdivided; but we have no occasion to describe the subdivisions, further than to say that what would constitute the fractional S. W. % of the N. W. % of the section is owned in part by plain:
V. Each party bases some claim on adverse possession, but we are unable to ascertain from the evidence that there has been any adverse possession for ten years by either party, by himself or through his grantors, of any definite portion of the accretions. So far as plaintiff is concerned we are satisfied that the triangular piece of land to which his title is quieted covers all the accretions over which he has ever exercised any definite acts of ownership. The evidence in its indefiniteness is somewhat like that set out in Stern v. Fountain, 112 Iowa, 96. No result different from that reached by the trial court would be justified on the ground of adverse possession.
The decree of the trial court is therefore affirmed on both appeals.
