General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

Ross v. Day No. 122 Argued December 11, 1913 Decided January 5, 1914 232 U.S. 110
ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURT
OF THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA
Syllabus
Whether parties had actually improved Cherokee lands in such sense as to give them a preferential right of selection and allotment under § 11 of the Act of July 1, 1902, c. 1375, 32 Stat. 716, is not a mere question of law, but one of fact and law, and, so far as it involves the drawing of correct inferences from the evidence, it is a question of fact.
Where, in such a case, the whole controversy depends upon whether the allotment was in accord with actual ownership of the improvements thereon and there is neither fraud nor clear mistake of law in the decision of the Secretary of the Interior on final appeal to him, his finding are conclusive.
29 Okl. 181 affirmed.
The facts, which involve the title to certain lands allotted under the Cherokee Indian Allotment Act of July 1, 1902, are stated in the opinion.
