In the county court the Indian woman
was found TO be absolutely In
competent and the guardian was up-
pointed.
Matters for months went along In
this way, when suddenly the depart
mcnt decided that 1t would alone
handle the estates OF full-bloOd in
compctcnts. and In such cases not
recognize the power Of the state
courts and then filed in the county
court for the incompetent a petition
asking that the guardian be dis
charged for two reasons only. First,
that the Indian woman was now
competent, and, second, that the
state courts had no jurisdiction to
appoint guardians for adult in
competent full-blood Indians where
their only estate was oil royalties ac-
cruing under department oil and gas
leases from restricted lands. The
guardian was appointed at the re-
