![["The letter is from William B. Burgess to Senator Thomas regarding a land sale issue involving the Otoe and Missouria tribes of Indians. The letter mentions that the tribes were misled by the U.S. Government in a land sale, and asks for assistance in resolving the issue. The letter references specific acts of Congress related to the sale of the tribes' lands, and requests that the Senator take action on behalf of the Tribes.

The case involved a dispute between Robinson and Fields and Brown over profits from a brick-making venture. Despite initial favoritism towards Robinson and Fields, Judge Kilgore ultimately ruled in favor of Brown, believing him to be an honest and hardworking man. The decision left Robinson and Fields disappointed and highlighted Judge Kilgore's unconventional approach to justice."]](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_0001_thumbnail.jpg "The Brick Kiln Decision: Judge C.B.

![["The document discusses the famous brick kiln decision made by Judge C.B. Kilgore in the United States Court for the southern district of the Indian Territory. The case involved a dispute between a brick maker named Brown and a firm of merchants named Robinson and Fields. Judge Kilgore ruled in favor of both parties, finding the merchants had a valid claim for goods and services provided, and also ruling in favor of Brown for the amount of bricks he claimed to have made. Kilgore also criticized the merchants for taking the law into their own hands and awarded additional bricks to Brown as compensation for their trespass. The case was eventually settled out of court."]](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_0002_thumbnail.jpg "The Famous Brick Kiln Decision of Judge C.B.

The defendants claim that the original act of 1889 intended for Indian courts to have exclusive jurisdiction over such cases. The defendants also argue that a later act in 1890 repealed any jurisdiction the Muskogee Court may have had in such matters.
