Recent Decision on Indian Citizenship
Changes Conditions.


Changes Conditions.
In the United States court yes
terday there was a ruthless slash
ing OF cases which are effected
by the recent supreme court de.
cision regarding Indian citizen
ship and when Judge Garland
finished with the list there was
scarcely anything left on the
docket. Indeed there was no
case ready to try and the jurors
were excused until 10 o'clock this
morning.
Among the parties indicted for
selling liqnor to Indians who are
at liberty through the timely in
tervention of the decision, the
following were discharged
yesterday morning: Nose Wake
man, Dorsey and Wells, Gustav
Baler. Albert LaCroix, Henry
Pretty Eagle, Belt Pretty Eagle,
Great Bear, War Bonnet and
Frank Bissonette. While these
cases are marked on the docket
as continued, all the defendants
were discharged from custody,
and were not required to put up
bonds for their appearance.
They were released on their own
recognizanee and it is very i'm
probable they will be wanted
again. L. G. Clark plead guilty
at this terra to.sel1ing liquor to
Indians. Yesterday his attorney
pleaded his rights under the new
decision and asked that he be al
lowed to withdraw his plea of
guilty and substitute the plea of
not guilty. This was done and
the prisoner ordered discharged
from custody.
The only sentence was in the
case of Samuel Lone Bear who
stole a horse on Pine Ridge res
ervation. He was sentenced to
one year at hard labor in the 500
Falls penitentiary.,
The effect OF the decision that
Indians who have taken their al
lotment of land have all the rights
of citizens of the Uuited States
continued to be the principal
topic for discussion among attor-
neys attending court yesterday,
and they continually discovered
new ways in which the decision
will apply to change existing
States Attorney Backus, of
Bonesteel, figures that he is
ahead about .$35, 900 by reason of
the decision. The government
has about 100000 deposited in
Sioux City banks belonging to
probated Indian estates. Mr..
Backus was attorney in 696 cases
which were probated and he
charged the sum of 800 for each
estate. He reviewed in payment
If his fees from the Indians
checks for 800 each. These |
checks have a space.for endorse
men. in red on their face by the |
gent and alsoa space for the en-
lorsement of the secretary of the
Interior. The agent endorsed
he checks but the interior de
returned them with
he information that they would
'nly allow Mr.. Backus $50 in each
,ase. Under the former rule Mr..
3ackus would only receive the
mount which the department
hose to allow him, but he says
hat Under the new decision the
hecks of. the indians are per-
ectly good without the endorse
nent of the department and he
vill proceed to collect the fall
mount of 800 IN each case.
1t has beenthe custom of the
department. to supervise all
laims against the Indians for
of property sold them,
tc., and if it was thought the
rice was exorbitant, to cut it
own. Now it is claimed the
indians alone shall say how much

ONE PER ON WARRANTS.

HONOLULU, July 2S,-"After
the bankers had held a meeting
this morning, they notified me that
they would reduce the discount on
Territory warrants from two to one
per cent, A." said Territorial Treasurer
Campbell yesterday.
1t is understood that all the
banks in town were represented at
the meeting held yesterday after
noon. Treasurer Campbell had
had conference with representa-
tiyes of the bankers on Saturday,
and had told them a few things
with reference to Territorial fin
ances. 1t was in consequence of
this that the meeting of the bank
ers was called, and the reduction
made.
The reduction means great deal
to men who are working for the
government on salary. Heretofore,
when the Treasury has been short
of cash, it has been necessary for
salaried men, who are not as a rule
over-provident, 10 discount their
warrants, and for this discount the
banks have charged two per cent.
When il is remembered that nearly
one million dollars are paid out b
