HISTORY INVOLVED IN SUIT
Question Expresses Attention of Law yers, Oil Men, Land Owners and Federal and State oGictale-Gives
 History of Wichita Claim.


 Austin. Tex.-Seldom has ease been filed in American courts in which history has been involved to the ex- tent that if is in the question of the ownership of the channel of the Red river, heneath the bed of which are valuable oil deposits.
 This question has been expressing the attention of fawyers. oil men. land owners and federal and state officials. The state of Texas claims ownership sn tue bed of the river to the center Of the channel. while the federal gov ernmcnt and the state of Oklahoma oppose the claim of Texas under the terms of the treaty of Spain in 1s19, by which the northern boundary of the spanish dominions in Texas was desig- hated as the south bank of the Red river.
 The federal authorities hold that the ownership of the Red river bed areas in dispute belong to the Indian tribes which owned the adjacent res eryations. and the state of Oklahoma maintains that as meandering stream, the bed Of the Red river is state property and should be leased for the benefit of the state school fu14

Mir. Thoburn in the course ef an extended statement says: Older than any of the claims of ownership which are now being pressed for the possession of the oil bearing areas of the channel of the Red river-older than any claim of Fthe State of Texas by rights derived from Mexico or Spain. and older than any claim of the State of Oklahoma er of the United States which may have been derived from France through the purchase of Louisiana IS the right of the aboriginal owners of the land on both sides of the river, and these are the people of the Wieh- ita tribe of Indians.

Yet, with this Quapaw transaction as q basis, the government of the United States executed grant of these lands 10 the people later. More than thirty years later the Wichita people first learned that their country had been sold by the Quapaw and then granted to the choctaws.
 "If the government of the United States eyer mems to do the square and honorable thing by tbe Wichita Indians it will never have a better chance than it has at the present time.
