Notes:
The fact that a party styles his adverse proceeding against a homestead entry at the time of final proof thereon a "protest" will not defeat his right as a contestant where he files at such time a corroborated charge, pays the costs, and claims preferred right underact of May 14, 1880; nor can entryman in such case defeat said proceedings by withdrawal of final proof. Where, on application for continuance, on ground of absent witnesses, adverse party admits that said witnesses, if present, would "testify to the statement set out," the applicant is not prejudiced by denial of application. There is no law or rule of the Department that warrants local officers in extending time for taking final proof beyond ten days from time set in the advertisement.
