The Indian Office is finding 1t very
difficult matter to prevent the sale or
liquor TO the Indians. Ths most difficult
problem has been presented In recent
court decisions In which IL is declared that
Indians who have taken their lands In
severalty are citizens of the United States.
and that IL Is no longer contrary to law to
sell liquor to them. Two or three decisions
have already been made to that effect and
the notice OF Judge Egerton OF South
Dakota to the Unite States Grand Jury, to
prevent no more indictments against per-
sons selling liquor TO Indians on allotted
lands, looks as II the courts were going to
take the view OF the case that no re-
strictions should be placed on Indian
citizens In reports submitted by various
Indian agents to The Commissioners of In
dian Affairs, the fact Is pointed out that
1t is very difficult to prevent the sale or
liquor To Indians Not only on account OF
the fact that the courts have recognized
Indians, having taken allotments, as clti-
zens. but for other causes The agent or
