	OSCN Found Document:GOODSON v. UNITED STATES
		Prior to this act, as we have before stated, it was the universal practice to prosecute offenses committed on an Indian reservation within the borders of a state in the state courts, and to prosecute all crimes committed on a reservation in a territory in the United States courts.
		He claimed that the United States had no jurisdiction, and that the judgment rendered against him was void, for the reason that he should have been tried under the laws of the territory, and in the court sitting for the territory, and exercising territorial jurisdiction.
		The United States, in a strict sense, has and exercises sole and exclusive jurisdiction in the territories, because of the fact that the jurisdiction exercised by the territorial government is the exercise of a portion of that belonging to the United States, and exercised through its subordinate governmental agency, the territory.

		Alzheimer's disease, a devastating disease that affects the cells of the brain, is now regarded as the major form of old age “senility.” While experts formerly believed that Alzheimer's occurred only in persons under 65, it now is recognized as the most common cause of severe intellectual impairment in older individuals.
		To recognize that progress is being made against this disease and to show understanding and support for the individuals and the families and friends of those who are affected, the Congress of the United States, by Senate Joint Resolution 82, has authorized and requested the President to proclaim November 1983 as National Alzheimer's Disease Month.

	Ex Parte Mayfield, 141 U.S. 107, 11 S.Ct. 939, 35 L.Ed. 635 (1891)
		Petitioner averred that on the 19th day of October, 1890, he was indicted in the district court of the United States for the western district of Arkansas, and subsequently tried, convicted, and sentenced to the Detroit House of Correction for three years, for the crime of adultery in the Indian country.
		On July 19, 1866, a treaty was concluded between the United States and the Cherokee Nation, (14 St. 799,) the seventh and the thirteenth articles of which are pertinent to this case.
		As Mayfield was a member of the Cherokee Nation by adoption, if not by nativity, and was the sole party to these proceedings, we think it is clear that under the treaties and acts of congress he is amenable only to the courts of the nation, and that his petition should be granted.
