State's Attorney General Benders an
Opinion for the Governor.
AFFAIRS AT PENDER DISCUSSED
Act Touching the Subject Dtclarea
thnt All Uontrncta Made irltlt Indian *
Affecting Laiuli Are Subject to
tlio Government' * Approval.
LINCOLN , July ' 20. ( Special. ) At the re
quest of Governor Holcomb , Attorney Gen
eral Churchill has submitted an opinion on the
existing condition of affairs nt Pender ,
Tuurston county. He has also forwarded a
copy of the same to 11. G. Strong , county at
torney , at Pender. The opinion quotes a
portion of the Dawes .act , section 5 , as fol
lows :
"And If any conveyance shall be made
of the lands set apart and alloted as herein
provided , or any conlracl made- touching the
same before the expiration ot the tlmo above
mentioned , such conveyance or contract shall
bo absolutely null and void. "
The time above mentioned Is twenty-five
years , during which tlmo the government
holds the legal title In trust for tha Indians.
The opinion quotes section C , defining the
rights of citizenship and notes that It excepts
the operations of the rights of citizenship
In BO far as It affects the rights of such Indiana
to. tribal or other property. Quoting from the
nplnlon ot the circuit court of appeals In the
case of Bock against the Flournoy company.
lie says :
"These limitations upon the power ot the
Indians to sell or to make contracts respectIng -
Ing land that might be set apart to them for
their Individual use and benefit were Imposed
to protect them from the greed and superior
Intelligence ot the white man. Congress
knew that If these wards , ot the nation were
piiced In possession of real estate and were
given npiclty to sell or lease the samf , or to
make contracts with white men with refer
ence thereto , they would noon b deprived of
their several holdings. "
"Aside from this , " continues General
Churchill , "It Is a general settled principle
of law that where the statute points out the
doing of a certain thingIn a specified manner ,
as In this cue , under the rules and regula
tions of the secretary of the Interior , Is
equivalent to saying that It shall not be
done In any other manner. "
The attorney general holds that "the con
ferring of the right of citizenship does not
necessarily confer upon them the power of
disposition ot property contrary to the
tatute. It U manifest , therefore , In so fir as
the Indian attempts to deal with this land , he
U without rower to do so except In the mod *
pointed out lu the statute , namely , under the
regulations of the secretary ot the Interior.
GOVERNMENT TUB BOSS.
Tha jurisdiction , then , over these lands. In
to tar as the acts of possession and owner-
ihlp are concerned. Is In the government ,
subject only to the right of the Indian. Any
other party either In possession or seeking
control ot these lands must of necessity be a
trespasser as against the government. The
xercUo of the right of the government to
dispossess white men seeking to take po ses-
lee of government lauds In Indian reserva
tions by force ls too well established In this
country to need discussion. From the founda
tion of the government It has been done ,
when In the opinion of the government II
vraa a matter ot public policy to do 10.
"There U no doubt , on the other hand , that
thU act confers upon these parties In other
r pcti the duties and rights of cttlzeni. and
ti y are amenable to the laws of the state
fa all other respects , yet at tbe same time
ttey ere under tb control and management

the county lying between tits Nlubrara and

soaking shower , unaccompanied fur the most

whore they raise vegetables for their own
tables and market , and what oats they need
for their horses. The ones who have suf
fered from crop failures In the tow years
past are those who have tried forming on
the uplands , and depended on rain , and those
who are succeeding are those who are using
the uplands for what they were obviously In
tended grazing and taking off small Irrigat
ing ditches from the streams wherever pos
sible for their farming. Those who have
come here and gone again , are to a great ex
