Opinion by
BREÍWER, C.
Nannie Rogers, a Chickasaw Indian by blood, married John Rogers, a white man. One child was born alive of this issue, and prior to statehood Nannie Rogers received an allotment of the lands of her tribe, then died intestate, without having disposed of the lands, leaving surviving her the child and her said husband. The child died later. The only question involved, as admitted in the briefs, is: Did the surviving husband, upon the death of the wife, take an estate by curtesy in her lands? So far as this court is concerned, we do not consider the question now an open one.
