It was first tried in the justice court at Truckee and defendant appealed to the Superior Court. Judge Hart also over-ruled the demurrer to the complaint in the suit of 0. C.

It has always been construed that when one homesteads lands, he forfeits his entire privilege, whether he takes up the full amount or not. It is claimed that it was the intention of Congress that every homesteader should acquire 160 acres oi land if he desired it. «eo Water Supply Short. — .
