Creeks
Will Soon Receive
Cash on Their Old
War Claims
t
Special to Dally Leader.
Tulsa I. T. May 24. Tho loyal
Creoles will soon recolvo the cash on
thfeir old war claims. Tho entire
amount of the original claim was $1-
200000 but after long years of wait-
ing and many conferences between
tho Indians and congressional commit-
tees it was finally scaled to halt that
amount. The Indian most Instrument-
al In securing tho award was Hon. D.
M. Hodge of Tulsa. For his sorvlcoa
he was allowed to retain 6 por cont or
the amount collected. Tills clrcum-
stanco alono shows that tho Indian
had but llttlo hopes ot ever getting
anything out of tho government. Tho
claim was pending more than thirty
years.
Tho largest claim is that of Cella
.Scott a resident of tho vicinity of
Coweta. Tho claim Is $23000. Tho
othor ulalms range down to a few
dollars or even conts. A large numoor
of persons residing in tho vicinity ot
Tulsa will get largo amounts. The'
principal of these is Lincoln Postoak
whoso check will aggregate about $9-
000. Ex-Governor L. C Porryman will
get a nice Httlo sllco; so llkowlse will
several others. Several boys who nev-
er saw $100 In their Hvoa will get
j various sums ranging from that
amount u to $1200 or $1800. What
up to $1200 or $1800
they will do with this money no ono
knowB. But all have agroed upon one
htlng. viz. get rid of It as soon as
possible. All sorts ot sohamea are
hatched calculated to part them from
the money.
