Mr. Justice White, delivered the opinion of the court. This case was argued with Missouri Valley Land Co. v. Wiese, No. 101, of this term, just decided, ante, p. 234, 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- Unión Pacific Company and the Sioux City and 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 under *251 took to make a cash entry of the land under the act of 1887, as did his neighbor Wiese.
