![["This brief argues that the United States Court for the Indian Territory does not have jurisdiction over a case involving inter-married citizens and citizens by blood. 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 The defendants also argue that a later act in 1890 repealed any jurisdiction the Muskogee Court may have had in such matters. They assert that the District Court of the Chickasaw Nation should have jurisdiction over the case in question. The brief criticizes the plaintiffs' counsel for omitting certain provisions of the relevant acts in their argument."]](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_0008_thumbnail.jpg "Jurisdictional Questions in United States Court for Indian Territory")
