ton whether on offered or unoffered lands, use
a military bounty land warrant in payment for
the tract pre- empted, reckoning the said warrant
| at one dollar and twenty five cents per acre, for
the quantity therein specified, whether the land 80
claimed is at the usual or enhanced minimum.
Should the area of the tract claimed exceed the
amount called for in the warrant, the pre- emptor
will have to pay for the excess in cash but If it
should fall short, he is not entitled to refunding
| of the excess.
