her proof has been affirmed by acting SecTe-
tary Chandler.
In the case Of James B. Haggin vs. George
c. DoheTty, involving a homestead entry in
Visalia district Cal, the Commissioners
Judgment is reversed. The local land offices
had decided that although the land in dis
pute was arld-Or desert land, yet as D0herty
as a homestead claimant had acquired valid
interest to a water-right for irrigation pur-
poses under an appropriation made by his
ETantOrs prior 60 the passage Of the act OF
October ,, 1888, his entry was not in con-
hlct with the provisions Of the statute
aud should be allowed. The protest
OF H8gGin was dismissed and IDGl proof
of said DOhertY passed to entry The
case coming before the Commissioner the
latter held DOheTty's homestead entry
for cancellation as being in conflict with
Chapman'S desert entry. The Secretary OF
tile Interior says that as 1t does not appear
that the land In dispute has been located o +
settled for q reservation site, under the act
of Congress of March 3, 1891, and as the en-
try Of DOheTty was made in good faith, It
