Notes:
Failure to appeal from decision of local office will not preclude General Land Office from examination of facts where fraud or gross irregularity is suggested.
Soldier's additional homestead entry made under contract to sell land on issuance of final certificate should be canceled as speculative and fraudulent.
Acts of Mar. 3, 1893, and Aug. 18, 1894. do not contemplate perfection of soldier's additional homestead entry, made in person by soldier and without certificate of right.
Right of the Government to test validity of an entry in a direct proceeding is not defeated by failure in a collateral proceeding.
