INDIANS SUE FOR
RETURN OF LAND
OR BIG DAMAGES
Washington, May 28. Two
suits for nearly $14,000,000 In
volving more than a million and a
halt acres of laud alleged to have
heeu erroneously taken over by
tho government were filed in the
court of claims yesterday by the
Klamath and Modoc Tribes and
Yahooskitt bands of Snake Indians
In Oregon and California.
In one suit the Indians ask
$8,047,029, alleged to he due them
for 1,500,000 acres which they
claim were erroneously excluded
from their possession through
errors and Inaccuracies in the
treaty of ISC ! under which they
ceded to the government certain
lands In the two states and re
served a specified tract for a
reservation.
The second suit grew out of Ihe
granting to Oregon by the gov
ernment of certain alternate sec
tions of public lands for the con
struction of a military wagon road
which, when built, passed through
the Indians' reservation for a dis
tance for approximately 100 miles.
It is charged In the suit that
112,000 acres of their land was
erroneously patented to the Oregon
Central Wagon lioad company
which built the road, and taut the
secretary of interior later ex
changed this tract for 87,000 acres
of unallotted lands within the
reservation.
The petition alleges that the
87,000 acres were covered with
timber and were worth $6,000,
000. Although congress appropri
ated J10S.750 to pay the indians
for the land, the Indians accepted
that sum under protest and tho
suit asks $5,891,250. which, with
the $10S 750 already received
they allege to be the reasonable
value of Ihe property.
