* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
138 U.S. 404
In re Cooper
This is an application for leave to file a petition for a writ of prohibition to the district court of the United States for the district of Alaska. The attorney general being present, and expressing a desire to that effect, opportunity was afforded him to be heard in opposition to granting the leave to file, and this resulted in argument having a much wider range than was necessary to the disposition of the motion. We are of opinion upon the preliminary question that this court has jurisdiction to proceed in respect to the district court of the United States for the district of Alaska, by way of prohibition, under section 688 of the Revised Statutes, and leave will therefore be given to file the petition for such writ and the accompanying suggestion. A rule will be entered as in like cases, returnable on such day as will allow reasonable time for service and return, in relation to which we invite the views of counsel.
(Counsel having conferred, the second Monday of April was made the return-day.)
Leave Granted.

# Indian Tales of The Great Ones/The Blue Bird and the Archer

The Blue Bird and the Archer
One day Drona, the Master-Archer, made trial of the skill of the princes his pupils. He had them all out before him together.
​Prince Yudhisthira, being the eldest, was called first.
"Be ready to shoot," said Drona. "But tell me first what you see. Do you see the bird?"
"Yes," said Yudhisthira.
"What else do you see? Myself, your brothers, or the tree?"
"I see yourself, my brothers, the tree, and the bird."
Three times Drona asked this question, and three times was he thus answered. Then very sorrowfully he turned from Yudhisthira. Not by him was the bird to be shot.
Prince after prince, he questioned on this wise; and all alike made answer: "I see you, my brothers, the tree, and the bird."
And now there was but one prince left, Arjun, the master's favourite pupil.
​"Tell me, Arjun, with bow bent, what do you see?"
"I see a bird."
"Do you not see myself, your brothers, the tree?"
"I see the bird alone," said Arjun, "not you, nor the tree, nor my brothers."
"Of what colour is the bird?"
"I see only a bird's head."
"Then shoot," said Drona joyfully; and even as he expected, as soon as the arrow sped from the bow, the bird was headless.

# Indian Tales of The Great Ones/Naila

Naila
Ghyas-ud-din Tughlak, the Moghul, had heard of the beauty of the daughters of Rana-Mal-Bhatti, the Rajput: and he wished a Rajput princess for the wife of his brother Rajab.
But when he sent to ask this, Rana Mai made a haughty answer—"No daughter of the Moon could wed with a slayer of cows."
Then Tughlak demanded at once, and in cash, a whole year's tribute to be paid to Delhi. And Rana Mal was sad, for though the people stripped themselves bare, it would not be easy.
And the sound of the people's crying reached the ears of Rana Mal's old mother, who came to her son's house weeping, with unbound hair, to plead for the people. And as she came Naila, the most beautiful of Rana ​Mal's daughters, saw her and ran to open the door to her.
"Why weeps my grandmother?" asked Naila.
"Because of you," said the old woman. "The Turk is taxing our people, because your father will not give you in marriage to the Turk as he desires."
"If to give me to the Turk will save our people," said Naila, "send me at once, grandmother. Think only that the robber Turks have carried off one of your jewels." So did Naila give herself for her country.
# Indian Tales of The Great Ones/Raziya, Queen of Delhi

Raziya, Queen of Delhi
Raziya was the daughter of Altamish, one of the Moghul slave-kings of Delhi who lived in the thirteenth century. She is the only woman besides our own Queen Victoria who has ruled Delhi.
Altamish had sons also; but when he was dying he said: "You will find no one better fitted to rule the kingdom than my daughter Raziya."
And after his nobles had suffered for some time the cruelty and injustice of Raziya's half-brother, they began to see that the King was right.
And Raziya herself helped them.
The King had given order that anyone who had a petition to make should appear at the great Mosque in Delhi, on a Friday morning, wearing a coloured ​garment, and his petition would be heard forthwith.
Now, on a Friday morning when all the men worshippers, in their beautiful white garments, had assembled at the Mosque for the weekly prayer, Raziya made herself brave to go among them dressed in a veil of the Prophet's green—a figure whom none could miss.
And the people remembered the custom of the good King who had denied a hearing to no one; and they said: "The King's daughter is herself to-day a beggar." So they listened, making it easy for Raziya to speak.
And Raziya said: "My brother has killed his brother, and now he would slay me."
Raziya and the Peasant
​But one old man, who wrote the longest tale of her gifts and virtues, tells us the reason of her failure to rule India: "She was a great monarch; but she was a woman, and she ruled as a man."
The Moslem people of those days could not forgive her that. They could not forgive her that, being a woman, she came before them with face unveiled; that, being a woman, she did successfully the work of a man, and asked no woman's reward. And so, though they took her love and protection for so long that they forgot the cruelty of her brother who had reigned before, they turned against her in the end and dethroned her, and put her in prison.
From prison later, she escaped, and led an army to regain her kingdom. And perhaps she might some day ​have won it back, but for a sad thing that befell her.
In the battle which she waged she was defeated, and fled alone to the jungles.
Passing through a field, she saw an old peasant at work, and begged for some food, for she was starving.
The man gave her a piece of bread, which she ate gladly; and then being worn out, she tied her horse to a tree and lay down in the field to take a short rest. She wore the dress of a man; but the peasant saw her jewels gleaming, as she slept unprotected in that lonely spot. He knew that she was a woman; and no more afraid of her, he killed her and buried her there, in a corner of a field outside the walls of that Delhi which she had ruled.
So Raziya lost her kingdom because she was not enough of a woman ​to make her people love a woman ruler; and she died, because she was a woman, and without protection.
# Indian Tales of The Great Ones/Draupadi and the Great Game

Draupadi and the Great Game
When Arjun grew to be a man, one of his first battles was against a King called Drupada. He and his four brothers, the Pandavas as they were called, put their soldiers in a ring round King Drupada's fortress, and let no one pass out or go in.
In a week all the King's servants were dead: and the brothers marched into the palace and took all that they wanted of gold and emeralds, of horses and chariots. The lady Draupadi also, the King's daughter, became theirs by the rules of war.
And Draupadi lived happily with her mother-in-law and the princes.
And all went well, till an enemy of the brothers, jealous of their happiness and their power, tempted Yudhisthira, the eldest of the five. He challenged ​him to a game of chance in which he put down all he possessed, to lose or win. And Yudhisthira lost. He lost his palace, his chariots and horses, and his whole kingdom. He lost his brothers and himself, and last of all he lost Draupadi also.
Draupadi was the most beautiful of women, and Yudhisthira's enemy was glad indeed when she was brought captive before him. But he was also afraid; for there was something so free in the spirit of Draupadi, that he knew it would not be well with the man who made her a slave.
So, thinking it were wiser to be content with the kingdom and let Draupadi go—
"Ask," he said, "a boon, and it shall be granted."
​"Granted," said the enemy, for he did not dare break his word. But he marvelled that she did not ask for herself; so, "Ask again" he said.
"Ask", he said, "a boon, and it shall be granted"
"And for the freedom of his brothers with their weapons and chariots of war."
"It is granted: but I give you a third boon. Will you not ask for your own freedom?"
​"By no means," said Draupadi. "The Pandavas, armed and free, can conquer the world. It is they who will rescue me. They need owe nothing to a boon; nor, with the Pandavas free, need I either, any longer."
# Indian Tales of The Great Ones/Sibi Rana and the Grey Dove

Sibi Rana and the Grey Dove
Long and long ago there lived a King called Sibi Rana. He was known to all the world as a man who protected the weak, but who yet did not withhold that which might belong to the strong.
So nearly perfect was he that the gods asked the greatest God to test his goodness.
And this was the way of the testing.
One day as the King sat in his great Hall of Justice, there came in at the window a poor frightened grey dove, nearly spent with flight, and flew straight against the heart of the King. Looking up, the King saw an eagle in pursuit, and without a moment's hesitation he opened his white robes to shelter the dove.
Sibi Rana and the Dove
"Nay," said the King, "on the contrary, food equal in weight to the bird shall be given to you."
"Whatever food I desire?"
"Yes, whatever you desire."
"But if I desire your own flesh?"
"My flesh shall be given," said the King.
"Then I wish the weight of the bird to be taken from your right side, and in the presence of the Queen and your small son," demanded the eagle.
"Beseech the Queen to come hither," said the King, "with my son."
And to the horror of all the Court, the scales were brought; and in the presence of the Queen they prepared to slice off the weight of the bird from the King's right side.
​The King sat steadfast: but alas! the bird seemed to grow heavier, with each fresh gift of the King's flesh.
And the eagle watched from the foot of the throne: and the eagle laughed aloud.
Then from the left eye of the King fell a single tear.
"Stay," said the eagle, "I want no unwilling sacrifice."
"Nay, but," said the King, "willing enough is this. My left eye but weeps because to the right side of the King alone is it given to protect the weak and defenceless."

# Holloway v. Dunham

United States Supreme Court
170 U.S. 615
Holloway v. Dunham
This action was brought in a district court of the territory of Oklahoma to recover the value of certain goods sold and delivered by the plaintiffs (defendants in error here) to the defendant below, amounting to the sum of $5,004.58; the sales having been made between the 1st of November, 1890, and the 10th of March, 1891, and the defendant at the time of the sales being a resident of Ft. Worth, in the state of Texas. At the time of the commencement of the action, plaintiffs also commenced attachment proceedings against the defendant on the ground that he was at that time a nonresident of the territory of Oklahoma, and also on the ground that he was about to sell, convey, and otherwise dispose of his property subject to execution, with a fraudulent intent to cheat, hinder, and delay his creditors.
The defendant filed an answer denying the plaintiffs' complaint, and also one denying each and every material allegation contained in the plaintiffs' petition and affidavits for an attachment.
Under the practice in Oklahoma, there were two issues thus made,-one in regard to the existence and amount of defendant's indebtedness to the plaintiffs, and the other as to the facts upon which the attachment could be sustained. These two separate issues came on for trial on the 16th of June, 1892, before the district court and a jury; and, after the evidence was in, the court submitted to the jury the two issues, and directed a separate verdict to be returned in regard to each issue. The jury returned the following verdicts:
'We, the jury, duly impaneled and sworn in the above case, find for the plaintiffs on the attachment issue. Eugene Walker, Foreman.'
'We, the jury, duly impaneled and sworn in the above-entitled case, find for the plaintiffs, and assess their damages at $5,434.61. Eugene Walker, Foreman.'
At the request of the defendant the court also submitted to the jury the following questions in writing:
(1) 'Was J. R. Holloway on the 31st day of October, 1891, about to sell and convey, or otherwise dispose of, his property subject to execution, with the intent to cheat, hinder, and delay his creditors?'
(2) 'Was J. R. Holloway on the 31st day of October, 1891, a nonresident of Oklahoma territory?'
The jury returned an affirmative answer to each question. Judgment was entered for the amount of the verdict.
The defendant appealed to the supreme court of the territory, where the judgment was affirmed (41 Pac. 140) and thereupon he obtained a writ of error from this court, and the record is now here for review.
Fred Beall, for plaintiff in error.
Selwyn Douglas, for defendants in error.
Mr. Justice PECKHAM, after stating the facts, delivered the opinion of the court.
