of the Cherokee nation which was left
after the original allottee* had select-
ed allotments.
The constitutionality of this, tfc*

Oherokees whs* held to the opinion that
tongivs* had no right to extend this
roll and give other Indians allotments
The court held that congress had tha
authority to do this and the attorney*
tor Muskrat and Dick will appeal the
case to the supreme court and are con-
fident they will win in the last tribunal
By this act nearly four thousand
«’b» rok«e children wen' admitted to

with otherf who have l»een admitted
to the t'hemkee rolls, make several

The Muskogee Democrat publishes
the following account of the decision in

Moore April II, 19«6. valid.
Lease given to United States Loan
and Trust Co. by Moore on June (
1806. and afterwards transferred to

yer to 80 acrei on July 2$. 1806. set
aside on ground of fraud.
Quit claim deed given by Moore on
Dec. 17 on entire 120 acres to J. R
McCullough and afterwards trans-
ferred by McCullough to O. X. Lan-
caster set aside on ground of fraud
and lack of consideration.
Effect of decision:    Moore secure*
possession of 120 acre* of best oil land
In Oklahoma, but lea** given by
Moore on same to R. 8. Litchfield for
15 year* held valid, and he gets 10

R. 8. Litchfield, the well known oil
man, and Zefle Moore, the Creek freed,
man. came out victorious In the United

famou* Zeke Moore care. Judge R E

10.000 word, holding that Moore wa,
the legal owner of the 120 acres of
producing oil land In 8-1711, which lies
two miles front Keefeton and retting
aside all conveyance* made by him. but
holding that a lease given by Moore
to Litchfield wa, valid ond that he
I was enttled to the legal 10 per cent
pardon, took the word of the man who
wras apparently his friend.
The court held that the facts show-
ed that the price paid (11.200) was
neither fair or adequate, and that the
silence of Ury and Sawyer In not ad-
vising Moore that his land wa* in the
oil producing territory was fraud on
Its face and that oppression waa used
In Inducing him to sing the deed The
land at that time, even before any oil
was produced, was reasonably worth
