Agent Lynch and Attorney Snively
returned from Spokane, Sunday, where
the latter defended Schuyler Colfax. the
Indian who was arrested for the larceny
of the houses and fences on the lands
which were allotted to his divorced wife.
Colfax was discharged as the case was
very weak, it having been that to his ef-
forts the construction OF the building and
other property involved was due, and
he was actually in possession at the
time of the alleged larceny. One of the
principal results of the trial was the rul
ing OF Judge Hanford that the federal
court still has jurisdiction oyer the In
dams notwithstanding the allotment.
