Of the Allottee, Homesteads Nav
then be Sold

Muskogee, Feb. 22:-Inspector
u. George Wright Of this city has
received a communication from
Frank L. Campbell, assistant at
torney general Of the United States
in which a decision is rendered of
reaching Importance to the people
of Indian Territory. The decision
in substance is"After careful con-
sideration, I am of the opinion and
so advise you, that the restrictions
upon the alienation of homesteads
of Choctaw and Chickasaw allottess
terminates with the life of the al
lottee.''
This settles the question as to
whether heirs could sell the home
stead Of an allottee after the death
of the latter. A few land buyers
have purchased homesteads in this
manner, but most of the buyers have
been afraid to take the risk.
