Syllabus

<p>An order made in an action pending in the District Court staying all proceedings therein until the further direction of the Court, is not an appealable order. The remedy of a party prejudiced thereby is by application for a mandamus to compel the Court to proceed.</p> <p>Where the plaintiff in ejectment claims title under a State patent issued upon a school warrant location, the validity of the location cannot be interposed as a defense to the action, nor the efficacy of the patent be contested, by one in possession, who admits that the premises are a part of the public lands of the United States, and traces no title from the United States to himself.</p>
