STATE,C COURTS HAVE
NO JURISDICTION
Judge Brewer Holds State Tribunals
Are Without Jurisdiction in
Such Matter.

Oklahoma City, Jan 1.-Two cases
involving important questions of law
affecting the five civilized tribes of In
dians were passed upon today by di-
vision No. 2 of the Oklahoma supreme
court commission in an opinion by
Judge Brewer.
In reversing the action Of the district
court of Carter county which granted
an injunction to restrain the hearing
of an allotment contest before the COM
missioner of the five civilized tribes
and dismissing the case of Judge
Brewer holds that the courts of the
state are without jurisdiction in such
matters and cannot enjoin contest
when pending before the commissioner
of the five tribes.
After title had passed from the or
|iginal allottee, Buckner Burns, a Choc-
taw Indian. to II. A. Ledbetter, an
other Indian, Della Bowman, brought
la contest claiming better right to the
|allotment than Burns. Ledbetter and
Others went into court and got an In
Junction restraining the contestant
from further proceeding in the matter.
The erection of a state following the
adonlion of the Oklahoma constitution
did not remove any of the restrictions
against the alienation or disposition of
the allotted lands of the Indians, ac-
cording to anotaer opinion by Judge
Brewer, in which he held that lease
given by Choctaw Indian in violation
of the terms of the Atoka agreement is
void. The case is that of A. ]. Chap
man versus J. G. Silver from the dis
trict court of sIcclain county and af-
!firmei.
