allow any hunting anywhere, where
these birds are.

ported In this section IA few seasons
ago and have multiplied rapidly under
the protection they have received.
There are whole townships In this
county where hunter is not allowed
to shoot except by n special permit
Of the land owner, who always stipu-
lates that quail and the pheasants
must not be disturbed. and In most
cases the men are not even allowed

celled by Department.
Snecial to The World.

Special to The World.
NAUSKOGEE. Sept. 12.-Until the
lV1 right of Tommy Atkins to en-
rollment and allotment has been set
tied by the secretary of the interior,
the case of the United States against
Minnie Atkins ct al. will not be tried
In the federal court II the motion
Of District Attorney ID. Hayden Line
baugh, filed today, Is granted.
The petition sets forth that tho
suit was ordered by the secretary Of
the interior in December, 1914.
through error on the part of agent
or employe OF the interior depart
ment The motion for postponement
of the trial is based on the conten-
ton that old papers showing that
patents about to be issued to Tommie
Atkins by the Dawes commissioner
In 1906 were held up pending IN
Investigation of Tommy Atkins right

been found. The land involved In
the case Is producing vast quantities
of oil and is worth now almost
So 10000
Issuance Was Halted.
That the suit should never have
been ordered filed is the contention
of the government in the motion
filed by Limbaugh. 1t sets forth
that the issuance of the patents to
tho Tommy Atkins land has been
held up since 1905 and nothing has
occurred to change its status.
The issuance of patents was orig
lnally halted by the report that the
only Tommy Atkins who ever existed
was the father OF Minnie Atkins and
that he died in 1873.
1t is admitted that Minnie's father
was named Tommy Atkins and that
he died in 1878, but they declare
that Minnie had son who was liv-
ing in 1899 and who was entitled TO
enrolment and allotment
But Where Is Tommy?
In view OF the discovery Of the
Linebaugh asserts that only the sec
retary of the interior has jurisdic-
ton of the case, and that the allot-
ment must be cancelled or declared
valid by him before the courts can
act in the matter at all,
Records that date back into the
nineteenth century are offered as ex-
hibits in the case.
The property in litigation is now
being operated by Charles Page OF
Tulsa, who Is under heavy bond to
the government. Page has stated re-
peatedly that he could produce the
real Tommy Atkins at any time. but
Tommy has not yet showed up.
