ITO meet this situation, the
commission to the five civilized

resolution:
"Whereas, many citizens of the

in the Delaware segregation, shall
be permitted to make application
for such lands and any claimants
may institute contest proceedings
for the same, provided that all
such applications and contests
shall be held suspended pending
