CLAIM HOLDERS.
What Constitutes a Residence
Explained by Judge Hunt.

Special Agent Layman of the U.
!. S. Land Office, with headquarters
in Crookston, has received a manu-
script from the Interior Depart
ment which gives the Instructions
of Judge William Hunt in the U.
S. Court in Montana, recently in a
contest case there. The main point
of interest in the lengthy charge
that he gave the jury that we're on
the ease was "What Constitutes a
!, Residence and is applicable all
over the United States, He says:
There must be an act and an intent,
the act of occupying and living on
the claim and the intent of making
it your home to the exclusion of a
home elsewhere. Inhabitancy must
exist in good faith. It is not in
compliance with the homestead law
for man to file on a tract of land
with no intention of making it his
home and with no purpose to live
there and with no intention of cul-
tivating any part Of it and acquir-
ing it as a place to reside. Ifa man
claims a homestead and only visits
it occasionally for few hours or a
few days every six months and his
visits are solely for the purpose of
technically complying with the
statutes. If, on the other hand, a
man claims tract of land with the
intent Of making it his home and
cultivating it, the law will sustain
him in his application for proof,
even though he has been away from
tia period Of not more than sixl
months, i shis absences are with
the intent Of returning and making
it his home and are reasonably nec-
essary for the purpose Of maintain
ing himself. Or, he would be ex-
cused If the absence was caused by
sickness or unavoidable casualty on
the land. Residence alone on the
land if the right to acquire the same
as q homestead is not sufficient as |
the intent to make it your home is
necessary.
The above points are set out very
clearly and should be considered
BY those who contemplate claiming
tract of United States land, as this
point arises when proof is applied
for. The land Office officials are
daily asked BY persons who have
already filed on land just how much
they must live on il ii order to get
the title. There are many Who wish
to comply with the Law and that is
all. There are many who get land
that way, but there is nevertheless
. big chance Of losing it ii these
eases Evening Times.
