THLocco CASE ON TRIAL.
Oil Lands Valued at Nearly $4,000, 900
Are Involved

Muskogee, Okla, May 5.-The gov.
ernment and the defendants. after
a two days conference, failed to
reach an agreement and the famous
Barney Thlocco case went to trial
in the federal court here today. The
suit involved the Thlocco allotment
in the Cushing oil fields, valued at
nearly s2,000,O00. The question to be
decided at this time is whether or
not Barney Thlocco was entitled to
an allotment as shown by the records
of the Dawes commission. Thlocco
is not entitled to an allotment unless
it is shown that he lived on April /,
1899. The government contends that
he died in January that year, and
the defendants claim he died on April
> that year. If the defendants win
contest will follow involving sixty
two persons who claim to be Thloc-
co.'s heirs. If the government wins,
the land will go to the Creek tribe
of Indians. The trial will continue
for several days.
