Broadwell v. Board of County Com'rs of Carter County/Opinion of the Court
This is a proceeding to recover moneys charged to have been paid under compulsion by a number of Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians to Carter county, Oklahoma, as taxes on allotted lands which were nontaxable. The county commissioners disallowed the claim; the district court of the county to which the claimants appealed sustained a demurrer to their petition and rendered judgment against them, and the Supreme Court affirmed the judgment. 175 Pac. 828. The total amount claimed is $22,455.99, aside from interest.
The case as presented here is in all material respects like Ward v. Love County, 253 U.S. 17, 40 Sup. Ct. 419, 64 L. Ed. --, just decided, and its decision properly may be rested on the opinion in that case.
Motion to dismiss denied.
Judgment reversed.
