JAGGARD, J.

In 1875 the proprietor platted the original town site of Crookston. In 1879 he deeded the east one hundred feet of lot 9 of block one to the plaintiff’s grantor. Subsequently he executed a warranty deed for a nominal consideration to the city of Crookston, “for road purposes and no other use,” to the forty feet off the west end, among others, of said lot.
