And wanders in the woods again.
Oh, urging impulse, born Of spring.

ATTORNEYS NOT PAID
The President Disaliowed the Fee
Claim of Vinita Lawyers.

A provision of the Curtis law
granted authority to the Delaware
nation to institute an action before
the court of claims to recover 157.-
900 acres of land from the Chero-
kee nation. 1t also authorized
this nation to employ attorneys.
When certain persons, recog-
nized as citizens, were refused
registration by the Dawes COM
mission, many individuals brought
suit to oust them from their bold
ings. The court ruled that the
nation must be made party to all
such suits. Attorneys Thompson
and Davenport were employed by
the nation to represent their in
terests and, while they have forced
many cases to a decisioa, they
yet have sixty-fvs or seventy ac-
tions pending.
The council at the recent session
appropriated 81 800 to pay the at
tolneys as fee.
This was considered reasonable
for the amount of work that has
been done.
When the bills were sent to
Washington for action and re-
turned. the appropriation for the
attorneys was found among the
"disapproved" lot.
The attorneys are going ahead
with the suits, however, and viii
trust to future action for their fee.
