IMPORTANT DECISION.
Judge Thomas Sustalns His
Former Rulings.

The suit OF Dr. B. f. Fortner VS..
William Taylor, was tried in the
United States court yesterday
by Judge Thomas. Both are citi-
zens of theOherokee nation. DIR.
Fortner has place near Clare
more, and Taylor bought e farm
adjoining. lDr. Fortner had what
he claimed as his quarter mile linn
it fenced. Taylor moved his house
outside Of tha enclosure which he
had bought, across the fence which
inclosed what plaintiff claimed as
his quarter mile limit. Taylor
claimed that this land belonged to
the place he had bought as a
quarter limit. He claimed also
that Dr. lFortner was holding
more'land than he could under the
Curtis bill, and that he, Taylor,
wanted to take his allotment on
the place he bought, including the
land upon which he had moved
his house. Judge Thomas decid-
ed that the land was in Fortner's
possession, and that ne had the
right to the possession, and that
Taylor was trespassing upon the
lands lin question. He rendered
final judgment, and made an in
junction previously issued against
the defendant perpetual.
Judge Thomas held also that
until ii could be determined what
the pro rata share of land Of a eiti-
zen will be he cannot be disturbed
in thepossession Of any Of it, and
then not without due process of
law. These rulings have been
made before by Judge Thomas as
is we'll known.
One new feature, however,
passed upon by Judge Thomas, is
with regard to quarter limits,
claimed to belong to intruder inn
pr0vements. He decides that in
the case of an intruder place sold
either by the Cherokee nation or
by the intruder under the provis-
ions of the Curtis bill no quarter
limit passes. That the Cherokee
nation did not sell anything but
the improvements that the
,intruder had made, and that
the act of congress allowing the in
truder to sell within certain time
was meant simply to give them
the right to sell what they had
actually placed upon the farms.
In other words, that the convey
ance Of an intruder place gave no
right to anything outsi de OF the
y actual inclosure.
