Man's Cnse. " The cases Involved the
long pending claims of 2,000 and 3,000
whlto persons to lJUrtlclpato In the dls.
trlbutlon of the lands nnd the funds of
the Cherolcce nation because of marriage -
riage with members of the trllJo.
Throre are over 4,000,000 acres of Inn

upon the cases t.ho court of claims held
that the l1'llJal lands a\'o not. communal
lands , but. that whites who ncqulred
cltlzenshlll by marrlago prior to 1875
have equal Interests with the Indians.
In the case of marriages Into the trllJo
sInce that. tlmo It was held that no
rIght. or propert ) ' had lJeen acquired
excopt. by those who hu paid Into th ( >
common fnnd the sum of $500. ' 1'he
court. or claIms also held that. whlto
huslJands of Cherolcce women who
have alJandoned their wives have for.
felted all rIghts as CherolOo cItizens ,
Including that of participation In thc
proceeds of sales of Cherokee lands.
The decIsIon affirme that. decision
