into bis rights as the owner of a
forty acre tract in Michigan. after

Indians in Michigan to obtain
farm land which the Government
intended to allot them Under ex.
isting treaties, and which they
have thus far failed to receive.
Judge Tuttle held that Archie
Egleston is the herr to forty acres
allotted to bis father, Daniel j.

of the Indians privileged to share
in the allotment of farm lands
under treaties made between the
Government and the Chippewa
Tribe in 1854 and 1855.
