grew into fist fight. and the commo-
tion brought a dozen Italians to their
countrymen's assistance. The two
Irishmen retreated into the street,
where they were reinforced by a score
of their counyrtmen from adjacent
tenements and the riot followed.

failed to investigate them.
1t was also asserted that the secretary
had withdrawn vast areas Of land for res

contrary to law.
Claiming to be entitled to a share of the
ChOctaW and Chickasaw funds and lands
under the terms of the treaty between the
Indians and the United States which was
entered into in 1880. the petitioners asked
for a decree compelling a general account
