The body of Anna Brown, an Osage Indian woman, in Osage County, Oklahoma led to an investigation which which ultimately determined that a large number of Osage women were killed over a period of years, but the reasons and perpetrators, and even if they were related, were largely never determined, although there white men were convicted of murders. It is thought that the killings may have been done to effectuate inheritance to non Indians, as at the time the Osage were the wealthiest people in the world due to oil production. As a result of that suspicion, Congress ultimately passed a bill prohibiting the inheritance rights to pass to non tribal members.
Mensheviks seized control of Vladivostok from Bolsheviks.
The Mensheviks were a more numerous Socialist group than the Bolsheviks, and less radical, which doesn't mean they were not radical. They failed in their contest with the Bolsheviks and, by this time, they'd actually been outlawed due to the Kronstadt Rebellion.
