DEMURRER IN INDIAN LAND CASE
IS OVERRULED BY JUDGE PHELPS

"A person negotiating with an In

of procuring a lease does so at his
own peril"

ruling a demurrer to the amended
answer in the case of L. f. Koontz
and Marion Jack. executors of the
last will of T. j. Kirk. deceased. VS..
Laura Alexander and II. H. Alexand-
er, and it is an opinion of much con-
sequence in this county because Of
the extensive practice of renting In
dian lands to white farmers.
The plaintiffs in the case in court
are suing to collect upon two notes.
one for $3.50 and the other for $1,000
Laura Alexander is an allottee upon
the reservation and H. II. Alexander
is her husband. The defendants ad-
NIT receiving the money and giving
to plaintiffs a certain written docu-
ment which they claim was a lease
to their land but which the executors
claim was nothing more than a
promise for an authorized lease
should the plaintiffs demand 1t.
Though admitting they received the
money and gave the notes. in their
answer they set up that the money
was paid to them upon the written
agreement that they should lease
their lands without giving the regular
approved government lease. The
agreement, they contend, was viola
ton of the federal law which requires
the secretary of the interior to ap-
prove all Indian leases and the whole
transaction. including the receipt OF

the money and the giving of the
notes, was an illegality. 1t was to
this answer that the plaintiffs enter
ed the demurrer which has just been
overruled.
Judge Phelps cites the federal law
making all contracts or leases with
Indians for their land null and void
unless approved by the government.
The law was enacted for the protec-
ton Of the Indian" he states in his
opinion, and should the courts hold
that a person attempting to rent GER
tain Indian lands could advance mon
ey to the Indian under the form Of
a lease such as exists here and then
upon failure TO procure the land un-
der government regulations bring ac-
ton against the Indian for a recovery
Of the money advanced, would be in
effect to hold that the law has failed
OF its purpose"
The plaintiffs allege the money
represented by the notes was loaned
to the defendants and, il the transac-
ton was one creating the relation OF
debtor and creditor. then the plain
tiffs would be entitled to recover, ac-
cording to the Phelps opinion. But. =
he goes on to say, the defendants say
there was no consideration for the
Lotes except for money that was paid
upon a void and Illegal contract; that
they were persuaded and induced to
make the lease and that the money for
which the notes were given was in fact
paid as part Of the rental as prOvid-
ed under the terms OF the lease"
