conveyed to the United States of America all title or interest of said
Indians in and to the lands particularly described in Article I of the
agreement, except the quarter section of land on which the Sac and Fox
Agency is located, and provided that the section of land now designated
and set apart near the Sac and Fox Agency for a school and farm shall
not be subject either to allotment or to homestead entry; that every
citizen of said nation shall have an allotment of land in quantity as
therein stated, to be selected within the tract of country so ceded,
except in sections 16 and 36 in each Congressional township, and except
the agency quarter section and section set apart for school and farm,
as above mentioned, or other lands selected in lieu thereof; that when
the allotments to the citizens of the Sac and Fox Nation are made the
Secretary of the Interior shall cause trust patents to issue therefor in
the name of the allottees, and that as soon as such allotments are so
made and approved by the Department of the Interior, and the patents
provided for are issued, then the residue of said tract of country
shall, as far as said Sac and Fox Nation is concerned, become public
lands
