Legal opinion on town site land preemption and forfeiture
Deen Lovage writes Oct 2 1874 on town site town lots preemption rules. He explains that lands open for entry are subject to exaction and notice periods two months and five months, with six months to prove. He argues claimants filing within two months or five months have rights to file before public sale and that forfeiture rules should favor bona fide occupants.
