WICHITAS DISPOSSESSED. Continued from 1st pae. - the leaped district of the Indian Territory, lying between the Einety-eight and one hundredtn meridians of west longitude. This district contains 7,715.224 acres, and is part of the country ceded to the United States by France in 1S03 in the Louisiana purchase. The case arose out of agreements entered into between the United States and the defendant Indians, by which the Indians ceded and relinquished to the United States their claim, title and interest in the tract of country within the leased district, and the United States stipulated to allot the tract in severalty to tbe Indians. The agreement also provided for the opening of the lands for white settlement.. When the agreement was pro- muleated, the Choctaw and Chick hi Nations claimed that not withstanding an alleged cession of the land by them to the United States, the land was held in trust by the United States for them The defendant Indians denied this claim and asserted an - exclu sive ownership. The Choctaws based their claim to 'he lands on the treaty of October 18, 1820, which proyides for the removal of the Choctaw Indians from Mississippi and Ala bama and the cession of all their lands in these two states to tbe federal government in considera tion of the tract of land in Indian and Oklahoma Territories, which included the lands now in dis pute. By the fourth article of that treaty the United States spipulated that the cession to the Choctaws in Indian and Okla homa Territories should remain without alteration until the time when the Indian NaMon should become so civilized and enlight ' ened as to be eliirib!' to ciw-n-ship of the United butcs Mini that Congress should then lay ot a limited .or'l .; m" i .

They asserted , there- fore, that the treaty of 1820, by which tbe Choctaws and Chickasaws acquired title to the land from the United States was illegal. As the Uuited States, however, has at all times, held to tbe policy that lands occupied by Indian tribes in territo ry purchased or acquired were sub ject to disposition by congress, the claim of the Wichita was scarcely considered by the Court of Claims in its decision. Tbe case reverted to the treaties of 1855 and 13G6 by which the tract of land now in dis pute was ceded to the government by the Choctaws and Chickasaws. Tbe quesaion raised was as to wheth er it was merely one of trust. . The decision of the Court of Claims was that it was merely one of trust, and it is expected that tbe tdecision of the Supreme Court will sustain the , iiva of the Court of Claim. bnscuit like mother made.
