Horn of an Indian woman and a white

fatlu-r. This decision, although in-
volving n-* new principle of law, list
been suspended *>n account of its far-
reaching effects. Curried out to its
logic lie inclusion, it would invalidate
nearly all Indian treaties. Over 10,-
0u(l,(K)U acres were ucquired under

alone, uii*l a largo proportion of the
