Notes:
Prior to act of Mar. 3, 1875, there was no law authorizing settlement or conferring right of entry under the public land laws upon Indians, as such, who had severed their tribal relations, and where a settlement right is set up on behalf of an Indian to defeat operation of a railroad grant at a time prior to said act it must be made to appear that said Indian was a citizen.
Where a tract of land is apparently subject to operation of railroad grant, but the company treat it as excepted therefrom and select indemnity therefor, selection may stand on condition that company relinquish basis.
