Notes:
Occupancy of a small portion of a subdivision of public land, under form of a Mexican village settlement, will not operate to except the tract from homestead entry if land so occupied is not used for purposes of trade and business and no claim thereto is asserted under town-site laws. Agreement of homesteader in such case to protect village settlers in occupancy does not render entry speculative nor bring it within intent of statute which provides that entry shall not be made for benefit of another where it is apparent that said occupancy is not at instance of entryman. Claim of confirmation under section 7, act of Mar. 3, 1891, will not be considered where entry is found regular and legal.
