ture making it misdemeanor for In
dians to carry weapons when off their
reservations has been declared uncon-
stitutional by the Indian department
in a recent letter to Major c. r. A.
Scobey, Indian agent at Fort Peck
agency. The department claims that
inasmuch as the law is directed solely
against the Indians, it is class legis-
lation, and as such is in conflict with
the fourteenth amendment to the con-
stitution of the United States, the pro-
visions of the civil rights act approved
March I, 1875, and the provisions of
Section 1877 of the United States re-
vised statutes. Agent Scobey is d.
rected, in case any of his Indians are
arrested under this statute, to appear
in their behalf and raise the question
of the validity of the act.
