    The Supreme Court reversed the lower court's denial of applications to enjoin state taxation of Choctaw lands. The plaintiffs were Choctaw owners of homesteads and surplus lands granted under the Atoka agreement. All issues in the case were disposed of by the Court's recent decision in Choate v. Trapp, which found that such Choctaw lands were exempt from state taxation. The case was remanded for further proceedings consistent with the Choate v. Trapp opinion.

    MICHAEL H. GLEASON, Minnie Love, Henry McGee, et al.,


    Plffs. in Err.,
    v.
    J. I. WOOD, County Treasurer of Pittsburg County,
    Oklahoma, et al.
    No. 575.

    Supreme Court of the United States


    Argued February 23, 1912.
    May 13, 1912

    Messrs. W. L. Sturdevant, david C. McCurtain, and Edward P. Hill for


    plaintiffs in error.
    Mr. Charles West, Attorney General of Oklahoma, for defendants in error.
    Mr. Justice Lamar delivered the opinion of the court:

    The complaint alleges that the plaintiffs are Choctaws owning homesteads and
    surplus granted under the terms of the Atoka agreement. Their applications to
    enjoin the officers of the state of Oklahoma from assessing their lands for
    taxation for the year 1909 were denied. All of the questions involved are
    disposed of by the decision in Choate v. Trapp, just rendered. [224 U. S. 665,
    56 L. ed. , 32 Sup. Ct. Rep. 565.] The judgment, therefore, is reversed, and
    the case remanded, with directions for further proceedings not inconsistent with
    that opinion. Reversed.
