1t appears from a statement made

made between counsel for the settlers
and counsel for the railroad that the
bona fide settlers were to be- paid by
the railorad company all outlay on

terms. This settlement, however, did
not apply to speculative claims or
claims taken up after the "overlap'

by the court because it did not cover
all claims.
