Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The naked question presented is whether or not a settler claiming in good faith a homestead can, for the purpose of improving the land, cut down the necessary timber before he files his entry ip the land office,” and answers: “I find nothing in the homestead act forbidding it, and, if the settler is acting in good faith, the fact that the time above specified intervened between the settlement and filing of the entry would not prevent him from doing in the meanwhile that which good husbandry would dictate.””
