INDIAN TAX CASE
JUDGMENT To Be
ELIMINATED SOON
Board Of County Commissioners Vote
Issue Funding Bond to Satisfy
judgment Held by Broad
we'll and Lindsay.

Unless demonstration Is offered,
Grady county will issue funding
bonds to satisfy the s52.96O judg.
ment against the county held by
George X. Broadwell and J. d. Lind
say
The board of county commissions
srs In regular session here yesterday
voted to take this action Notice OF
intention to fund was issued today
by the county clerk.
Hearing in the matter will come
before District Judge Linn February
95 at . o'clock a. m. "or as soon
thereafter as hearing may be had"
The notice reads. "All persons inter
ssted may be present at the time
said proof is made. and demonstrate
against the issuance of said bond"
he notice states.
The action was taken after the
holders of the judgment had sub
nitted proposition to accept the
'unding bonds in payment Of the in.
lebtedness.
A portion of the bonds-in the
AMOUNT of 000--would mature in
1927, similar amount in 1882, a
similar amount in 1887 and the bal
ance in 1912. They would bear semi
annual interest at the rate of five
md one-half percent. The holders
If the judgment have agreed to take
she bonds at par. Messrs Bradwell
md Lindsay were granted the judg-
nent after final settlement of a suit
which was filed in the district court
IF Grady county in 1914 and which
was brought to recover taxes paid
by Indian allottees on exempt land
for the years Of 1908-9-10-11. Claims
Of the various allottees were assigned
to the plaintiffs for the purpose OF
bringing suit against the county.
These claims, numbering 491, aggre-
gate the sum Of $3S,6S3.31. with in
.erest at six per cent per annum
since payment, making the total
amount approximately 100000.
The county had assumed a right
to tax these lands by reason of an
act Of congress which attempted
to remove the exemptions but which
was held void by the supreme court
Of the United States. The decision
from the United States supreme
court was handed down in 1912. This
suit was then filed to recover taxes
already paid.
Carried to State Court.
After the rendering of the deci-
sion by the United States supreme
court, the case was tried in the dis
trict court of Grady county and
was carried to the Oklahoma supreme
court by attorneys for the county.
Argued in the supreme court, the
decision of the lower court was re-
yersed
Apparently the case was ended
with the decision of the Oklahoma
high court, but the litigation was re-
vived when the United States
supreme court rendered an opinion
in a similar case from Carter coun-
ty wherein the ruling of the Okla
homa supreme court was received.
This opinion gave the plaintiffs a
chance for another trial in the dis
trict court of Grady county.
