Trouble Long Brewing

Trouble has been brewing in this
section for year over the allotment
of lands. Crazy Snake persuaded his
cIansmen, many of them negroes and
half breeds, not to accept the allot-
ment. The old chief stands for all the
traditions of his race, particularly that
of the unrestricted hunting ground.
Although many of his tribesmen Sc
cretly secured their allotments, they
dared not tell their leader, who would
have expelled them from the commu-
nifty.
Deputy Sheriff Pateo a week ago
started for the Hickory stamping
grounds to arrest an Indian who had
sold his farm too often. The warrior
seized rife and refused to inhabit
the white mans Jail. His comrades
also armed themselves and the deputy
retreated.

Judge Upholds HanIey

Hanley contended that while the COM
PLANT was handed to him by Stanley
Moore it seemed an ~emasculated docu-
ment'' and was not properly signed.
and. furthermore. that it was not served
on Mulcahy. Hanley argued that hs
was not party to the action. and that
Mulcahy. the real party. was not IN
position to have legal knowledge OF the
scope OF the court order.
ANY statement that it was not known
what room was referred to in the order
should be made upon OATH said Met
SON.
Hanley declared that his position was
well taken. and Judge Murasky agreed
that under the nature Of the proceed
ings Hanley's statement OF the case was
adequate.
Order Was Not Specific
'MuIcahy did simply what he was
authorized to do by a criminal court
Hanley insisted. "and he was to do that
until he was legally restrained. with
proper respect to this court. your hon.
or's order was not SPECIFIC"
Judge Murasky agreed that the order
was not SPECIFIC. but that it did refer
to the complaint. which. it Is con-
tended. Mulcahy did not see.
Moore argued that under the law any
knowledge of an injunction or re-
straining order bound the defendants
to respect ii. and that II they did not
know the scope OF the order It was for
them to find out its intention.
