LAND IS AL|ENAbLE
ON death OF ALbOTTEE
FEDERAL JUDGE HANDS DOWN
IMPORTANT INDIAN LAND
DECISIONS.

MUSKOGEE, Aug. 15-Creek homes
steads as we'll as all surplus lands be-
come alienabe Immediately on the
death of the allottee and 1t makes no'
difference whether death took place
before or after the five years restric-
tons
on the death OF Seminole allot-
tee, all his lands including homestead, N
becomes alienable, and the heirs can. .
make a proper conveyance of this
land.
Restrictions on alenated Choctaw
and Chickasaw lands We're not remoy-
ed by the act of congress passed On
April 21, 1904.
Patents In the Choctaw and Chick
ssaw countries date from the time that
they were signed by the last of the
chiefs of the two tribes, the time that
the deeds were signed by the secretary
of the interior is of no consequence,
and the signatures of the chiefs makes
the patents good.
The one, three and five year clauie>
runs with the land and not with tho
individual in the Choctaw and Chick
asaw nations.
Deciding directly contrary to tho
supreme court of Oklahoma In tho
Stonebraker case Judge S. T.. Camp
|; bell in the circuit court OF the United
States today held that the death Of an
allottee conferred on his heirs the
right to sell the land inherited, includ-
ing tho homestead, and that the gov
t ernment restriction of five years had
I no effect when the allottee died. This
y decision applied to lands in the Creek
I and Seminole nations and Is of vast
Z Importance to property owners in
s Musk ogee county In the 10000 suits
8 brought by the government a numiS 4
4 were based on the assumption that thp
heirs of an allottee could not sell the
: land until five years after the restric- =
, tions were removed and this view was
| taken by the Oklahoma supreme
court Judge Campbell takes the op-
posite view.
Judge Campbell In all handed down
| five opinions and they cover practic-
] ally every question that was not de-
clded by the supreme court of the
United States, in three decisions the
government loses out, and on two
points the government is sustained.
AS a general proposition, however,
the land owners of oklahoma win 4
big victory, particularly so on thd
decision fthe court that patents
date from the time that they werd
signed by the chiefs and not from thu
time that they were executed by thu
department of the interior. Also on
the Creek and Seminole cases wher|
the heirs OF an allottee are given thu
right to sell restricted land.
The decisions involve Il great mani
thousand acres of land, and the
mean a victory for the defendants II
thousands of the 5000 suits brought
by the government.
Attorneys for the government sal
that the cases Will be appealed to tn
supreme court OF the United States.
