Syllabus

<p>Town-site Acts—Interest os Occupant—Separate Property.—The occupant of lands for whose benefit the town-site acts were passed has an equitable interest in the lands. And if such occupant is an unmarried woman and marries, such interest is her separate property. And this is so, although the patent from the government to the municipal authorities has not issued. The property does not become community property from the fact that the husband advanced the funds necessary to get a conveyance from the municipal authorities.</p>
