The Case in The Court of Appeals of The District of Columbia
Springer appealed the District of Columbia Supreme Court’s dismissal of the bill to the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia. While the Lone Wolf’s appeal was pending in the Court of Appeals, President McKinley issued a proclamation ordering the surplus lands of the KCA Indian reservation be opened on August 6, 1901 for white settlement through a lottery. On December 4, 1901, Chief Justice Alvey of the D.C. Court of Appeals affirmed the decision of the lower court. Justice Alvey stated, in regards to the conflict between the 1867 Medicine Lodge Treaty and an act of Congress, that the Treaty has to yield to the act of Congress.
