    28 S.Ct. 299
    52 L.Ed. 473

    MISSOURI VALLEY LAND COMPANY and Iowa Railroad


    Land Company, Plffs. in Err.,
    v.
    CARSTEN WRICH.
    No. 102.
    Argued January 10, 1908.
    Decided February 3, 1908.

    Mr. Charles A. Clark for plaintiffs in error.


    Messrs. James H. Van Dusen, Irving F. Baxter, and Edward F. Colladay
    for defendant in error.
    Mr. Justice White delivered the opinion of the court:

    This case was argued with Missouri Valley Land Co. v. Wiese, No. 101 [208
    U. S. 234, 52 L. ed. , 28 Sup. Ct. Rep. 294], of this term, just decided, and in
    all essential particulars the two cases are alike. Wrich purchased his land in
    1881 from the Union Pacific Railroad Company, and received his deed in 1890.
    The land lay within overlap grants to the Union Pacific Company and the Sioux
    City & Pacific Railroad Company. Wrich took possession immediately after his
    purchase, and ever afterwards held and claimed the land as his own. In
    September, 1893, he undertook to make a cash entry of the land under the act of
    1887 [24 Stat. at L. 556, chap. 376, U. S. Comp. Stat. 1901, p. 1595], as did his
    neighbor, Wises. All the questions involved in the Wiese Case are present in
    this, and, for the reasons given in the opinion in the former, the judgment of the
    Supreme Court of Nebraska in this case must be affirmed.
