![["This text is a legal brief presenting arguments against the removal of the administrator of the estate of W. Byars. The brief challenges statements made by the opposing counsel, Mr. Ledbetter, and argues that there is no evidence to support his claims. It questions the motives behind the accusations and argues that the administrator acted within the law in handling the estate. The brief concludes by stating that the evidence overwhelmingly supports the administrator."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Claude%20Weaver%20Collection,%201861-1953/Legal%20Career-CAC_CC_055_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_055_2_2_2_0000-Indian%20Territory,%201895-1902/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_055_2_2_2_0007_thumbnail.jpg "Title: Dispute Over Administration of W.I.

![["The document discusses the eligibility of members of the Five Civilized Tribes in Oklahoma to represent Oklahoma in the federal Congress. It explains that, historically, Indians were not considered citizens of the United States unless specified in treaties or statutes. In 1887, a law was passed granting citizenship to Indians who received allotments or adopted civilized life, but this did not apply to the Five Civilized Tribes. In 1901, the act was amended to make members of the Five Civilized Tribes citizens of the United States."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Claude%20Weaver%20Collection,%201861-1953/Legal%20Career-CAC_CC_055_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_055_2_2_2_0000-Indian%20Territory,%201895-1902/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_055_2_2_4_0001_thumbnail.jpg "Eligibility of Five Civilized Tribes Members for Federal Congress Representation")
