Opinion:
The Court:
This case is like that of McBrown v. Morris, supra, 64, except. that the entry made by. the defendant upon the possession and occupation of McBrown was with intent to acquire a homestead right under the laws of the United States, which he was allowed to enter and pay for at the Land Office. The rules laid down in McBrown v. Morris apply to this case, and therefore the judgment and order herein are affirmed.
