Officials of the land office accepted filings but would not take money as the land did not appear for filing on the government tracts. The action gives the filers standing before the department and may lead to a general land office review in Washington to determine if the land is rightly held under Indian allotment. If successful, the filers may gain access to a favorable open filing.
