land was formerly acquired from the Creek Indians and is supposed to have been covered in A treaty of 1881. It has developed that the treaty was probably not ratified by the signature of the Pres tdent at the time pending an investiga- ton of charges that fraud was connected with the transfer.
 A sepecials commission. composed Of Crawford and Blach. government attor- neys. was sent to Alabama to investigate the matter. and it seems that this com mission in 1887 reported irregularities amounting to fraud, It is not known if the Indians were ever paid for their lands or that the treaty was properly approved. The amount of property involved and tho number of people affected makese the case one of the most important of the kind ever raised in the state.
