Napoleon said at st. Helena that his

law and the customs" three-fourths
of its contents having been extracted
by craftsmen from a printed treatise,
The code, in a word, was not sub

and under the treaties the white men
were to get allotments. When it came
to enrolment and allotment the rights
of the whites were not questioned by

INDIAN CASE INVOLVES ALLOTTED
LAND WORTH $43,3OO,OOO

Muskogee, /. r., Nov. The de-
cision of the supreme court denying
the rights of the $500 intemarried
white citizens of the Cherokee nation
to allotments and a share of the tribal
funds of that nation has ended a long
and bitter fight and has been victory
for the full-blood element Of the ma
tion who started the fight against the
white men and finally forced the ma
tion to take it up.
There was an old act Of the Chero-
kee council which provided that any
white person who had married a Cher

to make tentative filings.
Most Of them filed on land where they
had made Improvements and built
their homes. A great many got scar
ed and relinquished their own filings
and filed some other member of the
family that had Indian blood on the
same place to prevent losing it in
ease of an adverse decision by the SUI
preme court.
The average allotment in the Chero-
kee nation is worth $4,325, govern

of its actual value, so this decision
loses to the white claimants an aggre-

men, will make application for a re-

Later it was made a provision that
any such intemarrying person should
pay to the nation the sum Of $500 if
he wished to acquire full right with
