Secretary Holke Smith has rendered
an important decision in the case OF
Danielson, an Indian, who received an
allotment under the act of 1887, but tc
whom a patent was never |sued. His
father was white and his mother a
half breed, and he now wants to relin-
quish and take up other lands as a
homestead. The secretary thinks it a
case of collision for another party to
get the allotment under the homestead
act. and decides that the Indian is en-
titled to the land under the allotment
act, notwithstanding former depart
mental decision in the famous South
|sDakota case of Black Tomahawk VS..
Waldron, and that he cannot relinquish.
There isSevery Indication that the relin-
quishment is but move to allow
another party, who has been contesting
the allotment, to cover the land with a
homestead entry. The law did not
contemplate that there should be any
sale or contract to sell within 25 years,
and during that time the government
is to stand as trustee for the Indian
The Indian is not even supposed to
have the right to cut the tim Der during
that period, except as it may be nee
essary to obtain some for making i'm
provements.
