Cherokee Outlet decision draws large sum in Court of Claims
The Court of Claims yesterday ruled on cases involving the Cherokee nation of Indiana and individual Cherokees against the United States. The dispute centers on the $8,800,000 Cherokee Outlet purchase and a reopened treaty issue from 1886 about moving Cherokees from Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee to Indian Territory. The decision confirms an amount due with interest dating back to 1888, totaling about $1,900,000, with Congress expected to appropriate the balance. A Virginia town lot title tale follows a widow who, via a traveling clairvoyant, learned of an inheritance in her late husband’s papers, leading to verification of a claimed title held by Mrs. W. C. Harris.
