The sum asked is for payment of land embodied In their former reser- | vation in South Dakota and Nebras ka. Before suit can be instituted, the Poncas must obtain permission from congress. They base their claim for suit on allegations that they were forced to give up their reservation and move to a 50,000 acre reserva tion in Oklahoma. Their present reservation is located several miles south of here. M. C. Garber, congressman from Oklahoma, will lead the fight In the Roscoe W.
