Show claim to it the title of the state does not vest so while there are some nice little technical points involved in the que question which I 1 cannot explain by letter I 1 am of the opinion that a bona fide claim for school land would stand against the state elate in 1880 rights held by a preemptor was wai by law vested in a homestead so in speaking of a preemptor it includes a homesteader and the preemption pre emption law is repealed this information comes from a man whose business it is to know whereof he speaks and is reliable remembering that the government protects and aids all bona fide settlers in every way possible I 1 would strongly advise all such settlers on school chrol lands before 1880 to immediately apply through a qualified land attorney for the homesteader s ri rights lits it is my opinion n that it would be hotter botter to do this before any any state laws are passed on the subject as then the individual will only baleto have to defend himself whereas if he waits till later the cases may become more complicated A A MILLS president utah state agricultural society |
