HOLDS THREE ALLOTMENTS
Indian Girl Given Lands Under e cn
Of Her Names.

OF Her Names.
Muskogee. Okla, Jan. 15.-The re-
cent decision of United States Judge
Campbell that the same person can
not hold two allotments, and have
two legal names, is causing legal cow-
plications in the eastern part of the
state because of the manner in which
Indians were allotted lands,
1t developed here today that a
Creek Indian girl has three separate
allotments in the Creek nation and
has been holding them all in different
names. The girl is perfectly innocent
of wrong doing and when she heard
of the courts decision SHE called a.
the Indian agency and wanted to have
her affairs adjusted. 1t happens that
in each of her allotments there was
oil territory, and three separate com
panies had leases on her lands. TWO
of the companies, under the courts
decision, will be the loser.
A similar case occurred a few days
ago when a young Indian gave two
separate leases on two separate piec-
es of property. The Indian agent is
satisfied there are a number of such
cases. At the suggestion OF Mr.. Kel-
sey, the Indian agent, the Uni !
States attorneys office is rr parirg g
to set aside these excessive allot-
ments. Where the land recovered for
the tribe is rich in oil, the money will
go into the general fund and be shar
ed equally.
