GARFIELD v. U.S. EX REL. ALLISON

Nos. 249, 250.

211 U.S. 264 (1908)

29 S.Ct. 67

53 L.Ed. 176

GARFIELD, SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR, v. UNITED STATES ex rel. ALLISON.

Supreme Court of United States.

Decided November 30, 1908.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

The Attorney General and Mr. Assistant Attorney General Fowler, with whom Mr. William R. Harr was on the brief, for plaintiff in error.

Mr. Charles H. Merillat, with whom Mr. Charles J. Kappler and Mr. James K. Jones were on the brief, for defendant in error.

MR. JUSTICE DAY delivered the opinion of the court.

These cases were argued and submitted with the Goldsby Case, No. 248, just decided. In the case of George A. Allison, a patent had been issued for his lands and duly recorded. In the case of Ida Allison, an allotment certificate had been issued.

The relators are Cherokees, but the legislation herein involved is not different from that governing allotments to members of the Chickasaw Nation.
