watotnic would, II successful, deprive
Oklahoma of I0i ,tss ncrcs Of valuable
school lands. These indemnity lands
were selected by the territory after the
kickapoos had received their allot'
menis, but before their reservation
was declared open TO settlement. The
lands were taken In lieu Of sections IL
and 30, settled upon by Indians In other
parts Of Oklahoma under the congress-
ional nc Of May .. 1890; February 2s,
1891. and March ., 1895. The selection
Of the lands by Oklahoma was opposed
by the secretary Of the interior on
December o, 1895.
The kickapoo indemnity lands, ex.
cepting Is0 acres, arc leased to farmers
by the school land department, and the
annual rentals aggregate between sa5,-
900 and $4,000. A number Of the
lessces believe that the laws under
which these lands were taken by Ok
lalona IRE faulty and that the lands
are rightfully subject to homestead en-
try. Dick 4. Morgan Of Perry has been
retained to prosecute the suit. The
grounds upon which the suit is to be
brought have not been made public.
The lands lie close together and are
non.taxable. For this reason the
lie, sees have been deprived Of public
schools. rs they had no revenue to
maintain them. An effort wns made
In the last Legislature to have a special
fund Of $1,000 n year appropriated for
school purposes, but the bill was de.
feated. The best timber In Oklahoma
