reby certain lands constituting a part of the reservation were
erroneously identified as being outside of the reservation, by reason
of which several persons in good faith settled upon said lands under
the belief that the same were unappropriated public lands open to
settlement, and have since improved and cultivated, and are now residing
upon the same with a view to the entry thereof under the public land
laws, notice is hereby given that in so far as said persons possess the
qualifications required by law, and maintain their said settlement and
residence up to the time of the opening herein provided for, they will
be considered and treated as having initiated and established a lawful
settlement at the very instant at which the lands become open, and as
having the superior right and claim to enter said lands, which right
must be exercised within three months from the time of said opening.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of
the United States to be affixed.

Done at the city of Washington, this 13th day of April, in the year of
our Lord one thousand eight hundred and ninety-nine, and of the
Independence of the United States the one hundred and twenty-third.
