In deciding the case Of the Unilee
States vs.. George Dick. the suprems
court Of the UnIied States held thai
the laws Of the United States ant
not the laws Of Idaho. concerning
the Introduction Of Intoxicating
liquors on an Indian reservation,
control on the old Nezperce Indian
reservation In Idaho. Dick was
convicted Of taking a pint Of whiskey
into the territory embraced In the
reservation aud sought 10 have the
case dismissed on the authority Of
the supreme court decision Ia the
Koch case. holding that as Indians
on allotted land are citizens. their
rights cannot be cifcumscribed.
Dick vas arrested for introducing
liquor on the Nesperce Indian reser-
walton and was convicted IN the
federal court al Moscow and SEN
tenced TO a term IN the penitcntiary
rhich sentence he has served pend
ing the litigation that developed.
After bis conviction habeas corpus
proceeding vas Instituted In bis be-
half on the ground that federal au-
thority did not apply on the reserva-
tion In such matters. but that the
s,ase had Jurisdiction, after the
land vas allotted IN severalty-shat
the police power should not be d.
vidsdbetweenshe federal government
and the state. The circuit court Of
appeals at San Francisco sustained
this contention an the case then
weni to the supreme court OF the
United States. This tribunal held
that the circuit court had no juris-
dic.ion in passing upon a habeas
corpus proceeding Of that character.
The merits Of The question vas
therefore not passed upon in that
decision and Il was decided to in
ssi,use proceeding on a writ Of
error direct from the action Of the
federal court at Moscow. This case
was taken up direct to the supreme
court OF the United States and was
argued last fall by Judge Fogg at
Washington IN bshalf Of Dick. Dur
ing the various stages Of the case,
Attorney G. w. Tannahill was also
associated in the litigation and he
argued the frss court OF appeals at
San Francisco. After the case vas
passed upon by the circuit court Of
appeals, the ruling was generally
accepted By the public as the Law
and throughout the reservation
country many saloons we're opened
up under state licenses, and the rev.
enues derived by the county reach
between $40. 900 and SIS. 900 annu-
ally. The ruling Of the circuit
court Of appeals was also accepted
by the government to the extent that
all prosecutions Of parties charged
with introducing liquor have been
held in obeyance pending the find-
ings Of the supreme court. Attorney |
General Bonaparte took a special
interest in the case, desiring a full
presentation Of the issues in the
higher court. and the interior depart

also became interested in the case.

THE FIGHTING
 IS ALL OVER Mafia Which Has Existed For Two Weeks Stop
 By Campbell.

Little Rock, July 25. No more will the fighting strain of the Corsican brothers, or the spirit of the Spartan lad who allowed his heart to be eaten out by the stolen wolf, be found dormant in the local Greek colony. No lon- ger will the Mafia society which has existed for the past two weeks hold sway with it's motto of, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for tooth" The hatchet lies buried. Over all, the dove of peace, with it's olive branch hovers and coos, Prosecuting Attorney Roy D. Campbell has been the soothing hand to bring the loca Greek factions and calm the stormy waters. An agree ment was reached between the factions last night, an agree ment was drawn by the prosecu- ting attorney. and signed by those who have been concerned in the recent Greek troubles, and unless this obligation of peace is violated, there will be no further trouble, If there is a violation the prosecutor is going to take a hand more than he has in the past and enforce the law to the extreme penalty.
 The trouble between theGreeks arose through a quarrell between Nick Novakvich, a local restau- rant keeper, and three of his former walters. Navakvich is a native of Montenegro, and the walters are Greeks. There was no love lost between these two nationalitieS to start with and 1t was easy to open hostilities. Gus Markes, a Greek labor agent, took inc side of Novakvich and the other Greeks claim, hunted up charges to bring against them. Through testimony given in local justice court by Markes the three Greek walters were put under a peace bond. Markes the next day had a fight with one of these, and a day later he was attacked by three. The three were arrested on a charge of rioting but yesterday discharg- ed. When the trial was over they met Markes on the street and started for him again. They were again arrested and Tony Harrison one of the mum Der was fined in the court of Justice Ellenbogen yesterday. At the conclusion of this trial some of the influential Greeks went to Campbell and sued for peace. They blamed Novakvich with be. | ing at the bottom of the trouble, saying he wanted to run the
