THE ROY CASE.
THIRTY-SEVENTH ANNfVERSARY-THE SETTLEMENT OF
THE WHITE EARTH RESERVATION.
The Roy case which is now be
fore the district court on a writ of
habeas corpus, may settle the
jurisdiction of the State courts
over citizen Indians on this reser
vation, definatcly.
It is contended by the Indian
agent that the state courts have
no jurisdiction over this reservat
ion or the Indians even though
the latter may be citizens.
Johnson and Carman, of Detroit,
who are the attorneys for the
Roys, contend that the state courts
have jurisdiction over this reser
vation and over all classes of citi*
zens thereon, and in support of
this will submit briefs this week
to Judge Searles of St. Cloud,
beforo whom the case was brought,
and the United States attorney
will submit a brief in behalf of
the agents contension.
We cannot believe that Judge
Searles will hold otherwise than
that the state courts havo jurisdic
tion, for a ruling by him to the
contrary would bo in opposition
to the decisions heretofore made
by the supremo court of this State*
In any event, it will undoubted
ly be held that either the State ot
United State courts havo jurisdic
tion over this reservation, and
therefore the officials cannotcjeStfc

imprisoning members of this res-

Agent Michelet has been no
worse or no better than his prede
cessors in respect to the free use
of the agency jail ho has simply
followed the precedents established
by others* However the qnestion
now before tho courts is not for
the purpose of making the matter
a personal one against the agent,
but is for tho express purpose of
settling the rights of individuals
against unlawful arrests on this
reservation.
Judging from tho expressed
sentimont of the members of the
reservation, the right of the agent,
the Indian court and Indian police
to commit people to jail must be
settled dcfinateltV by a decision of
the higest courts in the Roy case.
