IMPORTANT DECISION.

Oer Anne Eitel fled contest. aycrr.
ing that at the time Colbs'ts sslcc.
non was made she ant h2t gamer.
frank W. Jones, wa'c In lios 'ess..l
1f the lands selcc'a., mi twenty
Icres of It in cultNa.ila. ana all on.
closed by good VIII fence rho ryi.
ionco showed that prior to Colberts
selection Frank w. Jones had trans.
ierrcd the title to the lands in contro.
yersy TO Annie Eitel. and thereafter
occupied the land under landlord
and tenant agreement with her. The
Commission to the Five Civilized
Tribes held that at the time OF this
transfer Frank w. Jones was an ex.
cess holder and that no title had
passed by reason OF this transfer to
Annie Eitel, that the land was pub.
lie domain and open TO pubnc entry az
the time OF COlbert's election.
The case was appealed to the Com.
ssion Of Indian Affairs and counsel
for Annie Eitel. Mr.. Chilion Riley, OF
Ardmore, Indian Territory, ana
Messrs. Happier a. Merillat, Of Wash.
ington, ID. c., contended that In the
first place there was no showing in
the record that Jones as matter
pf fact was an excess holder, and sec.
ondly, that II he was under the deci.
sions OF the Indian office. and of the
assistant attorney general, no citl-
zen could make himself n Judge as TO
whether a party was an excess hold.
er and file upon enclosed land, but
must first proceed to lodge the com.
plant with the Commission to the
Five Civilized Tribes against the al.
legged excess holder and have a trial
OF this question of fact. The Commis.
sioner of Indian Affairs sustained the
contestant on both these points, and
therefore rendered the decision.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1906-08-14

the land TO another cattleman named
Light. The contestees on tue ground
that Sparks was an excess holder filed
I on the land. The commission 10 the
five civilized tribes held tha. the sale
by Sparks was not bona fde. and that
Randolph never had been i'm possession
and therefore awarded the land to
his opponents. In the case consider
able testimony was let in over obiec.
tion in reference to Sparks excess
holdings. The commissioner of In.
dian affairs holds that this was er.
roueous. that Randolph could not be
thereby preiudiccd. and that before
iiling ON tho land. which waa enclosed
by a fence, complaint against Sparks
as an excess holder should have been
made. The commissioner finds that
there Is nothing In the record what.
ever which shows or tends TO show
that the sale by Sparks to Randolph
was not bona ilde. Even q Sparks
were an excess holdCr Il finds that
Randolph or any one else was free,
until there had been a j.dicial deter.
mnation ON the question OF excess
holdings, to buy his land from Sparks.
with reference to the fact that a note
was given In purchase, Il says that
this represented cash, since Sparks
was able to transfer It to the bank.
Tho commissioner says the note was
endorsed. and that IL requires evi.
dence and not presumption. and furth.
er finds that as a matter of fact the
possession subsequent to the pur.
chase by Sparks was a control held
by them as tenants OF Randolph. and
that Randolph as a matter OF fact was
the real party In possession OF the
lands at the time the contestees made
their filing.
Randolph was represented in the
appeal by Happier & Merillat of
Washington.
