Syllabus

<p>1. One whose primary entry of public lands in the U. S. Land Office is cancelled before commutation or the full five years elapse, does not “hold under an apparently good, legal, or equitable title derived from the United States Government,” within the meaning of the Betterment Procedure Statute.</p> <p>2. The receipt of a Receiver of a U. S. Land Office made by statute prima facie evidence that title had passed means the receipt or certificate given at the final entry, and not the receipt for the registration fee required at the original entry.</p>
