B oth are seventh graders. A suit begun ten years ago will result in the distribution of a $16.5 million settlement to members o f the Klamath Indian Tribe. The settlement came last October after a lawsuit alleged that the BIA mismanaged timber on . tribal land between 1910 and 1954 when the tribe was officially terminated. Prior to this distribution the Klamath Indians have received checks twice during this decade to settle timber disputes. In 1974 the government distri buted $49 million and in 1980 $81.5 million. Those eligible to share in the distribution are survivors and heirs of the 2,133 Indians listed on the tribal rolls at the time of the termination. Checks were issued March 1 to the original tribal members while checks to 3,500 heirs will be sent in May, the delay being to make certain that all the heirs have been located and addresses are current.
