entry for any tract OF land that IL not
in the possession Of a homesteader- Ihe
section has never been repealed, and
the right of the Indians who nave no

the tribal rolls. is one that, it is stated,
they can exercise at any time.
With KeO Tuck there are sixty mem
bers of the Sac and Fox tribe who pro-
pose TO make filings, and attorneys
throughout the country are searching
for other Indians who have lost their
tribal relations and who have not Sc
cured publica ton Of homestead tracts.
It is believed that there are 800 IN the
two territories who can secure cholce
claims in the new country IN ADVANCE
of the ones who have registered, by
simply making their filings
The plan is to select the lands they
desire and then 90 into court and ask
