Miamis Striving to Regain So Sections
of Land In Indiana.
Chicago, Feb IA fight to regain
SO sections of land in Indiana has been
begun by the Miami Indian nation
Two local lawyers experienced in this
line Of legal bua;ness have been re-
tanned and the campaign will be push
ed both in the courts and at Wash.
ington.
The land is situated in Grant, Miami,
and Wabash counties, Ind. and Mercer
county, O., and came into the posses.
sion Of Chief m-Go-Mish-Ah for
the use Of his tribe in 1918 by a treaty
with the government. This treaty is
said to have specified that the lands
should not be taxed and that it could
not be sold except by consent of the
government. Despite this fact it is
claimed that much of this land passed
to other hands for non-payment of
taxes and great deal of the remain
der was lost by the Indians through
their Ignorance. A massmeeting of the
Miami nation, numbering 458 persons,
was held recently at Marion, Ind. 1t
was resolved to raise a fund to fight
for the land. The Chicago lawyers
retained returned to Chicago today
and said that immediate steps would
be taken.
