Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit
Appeal from the Circuit Court of the United States for the District of Colorado. Bill by William Lennox against John C. Leonard. Decree for plaintiff, and defendant appeals.
1Opinion of the Court
VAN DEVANTER, Circuit Judge.
Under a patent from the United States issued to him under the coal land law (Rev. St. § 2347 et seq. [U. S. Comp. St. 1901, p. 1440]), the appellant holds the title to a parcel of land in Colorado which the appellee insists should have been patented to him under the soldier’s additional homestead law (Rev. St. § 2306 [U. S. Comp. St. 1901, p. 1415]), and would have been so patented but for a material error of law committed by the Land Department in a contest between the appellant and the appellee relating to the character of the land.
