INDIAN LAND CASE
DECISION HINGES ON THE
VALIDITY OF A DIVORCE.
A Quarter Section, Valued at Over
Five Thousand Dollars, is Involved
Question Is Raised OF Priority
Between Divorce and Passage Of
Allotment Act-The United States
Is Defendant.

Yesterday papers were prepared
here for a suit in the United States
circuit court that promises to be one
of the most interesting cases involv-
ing Indian rights ever tried. 1t is
the case of Wa-lits-pum, represented
by R. ]. Slater, versus the United
States and Tse-lap-tse-lap The de-
PENDANTS are to be represented by
the United States district attorney and
T. G. HALEY. The suit is to secure
possession of 100 acres of allotted In
dian land, ana the case hinges on the
validity of an Indian divorce.
e-lap-tse-lap was the wife, and
Wa-lits-pum the sister OF Sook-pop-
up-kop-up, an Indian brave who was
allotted the southeast quarter of sec
tion II, in township 2. north of range
33, E w. M, when the allotment
was made by congress. The land, if
il could be sold. would bring from
$4,000 TO $4,000. The land is now
held by Tse-lap- p-tse-lap, who claims
the property by right of being the
widow of SOok-pop-u and
having no children,
The suit to oust the widow Is
brought by the sister on the ground
that before Sook-pop-up-kop-up was
divorced from his wife according TO
the Indian custom, which consisted
of a simple desertion and the taking
OF another squaw. Should this claim
be proven. the title to the land will
then pass to the sister. Wa-lits-pum.
However. before the Gaze can be
won il must be proven that the Indian
Divorce was obtained before the pass
age of the allotment act, for the law
provides that those given allotted
lands shall thereby become citizens
and subject to the civil and criminal
laws of the state in which they reside.
1t is maintained by the attorney for
the widow that the supposed divorce
was secured subsequent 10 the pass
age of the allotment act.
In all suits in which title to Indian
lands is involved, the United States
is made participant in the case,
and in the above case the United
States attorney or his deputy will act
with the defence.

L. A. Vogel, of this city, who has
been in Portland. on the federal
grand jury for the past IS days, re-
turned home this morning. the grand
jury having been dismissed until
April /.
Mr.. Vogel has been one of the most
active and aggressive members, and
Indignantly refuted the statements
that r. ]. Heney. the prosecutor of
the land frauds, has led the jury
around by the nose," as asserted by
friends of the accused conspirators.
He has the highest praise for Mr..
Heney as lawyer, and says that
many of the indictments were voted
without Mr.. Heney's knowledge. un-
til after the indictment was returned.
In every instance where an indict-
ment has been returned. the evidence
was overwhelming, and although 1t
may seem to an outsider that much
of the evidence is far fetched or un-
certain, yet Mr.. Vogel asserts that
such a mass of convincing and un-
questioned testimony has been pro-
duced, that 1t was impossible to
avoid returning indictments in every
case.
He also denies that any part of the
proceedings against either Senator
Mitchell or Congressman Hermann or
Williamson. are part of a persecution,
as out of 20 men on the grand jury,
last week, II of them were republic
cans, two democrats and one social
ist, and in almost every case, the votes
were unanimous.
Mr.. Vogel says that Mr.. Heney and
Mr.. Burns, who are unraveling the
cases. are simply doing a plain duty.
outlined by the requirements of their
offices. and that they both exhibit a
sense of justice of the highest degree,
although some of the revelations
made may seem to be wrung from
witnesses by unfair means.
The grand jury will convene again
about April /, after an adjournment
to allow Mr.. Heney and Mr.. Burns
to attend trial of the Benson-Hyde
gang in Washington, D. c.
