A LOG FIGHTING CAPTAIN During the
Creek war portion Of those Indians were
friendly to the whites, and have received bounty
land warrants for services; but occasionally
one Of the wrong side puts in his claim, most
ignorantly, but with great faith of getting it.
A short time since renowned Halo Of the
Creek nation requested the services Of one of
our attorneys while travelling in the Indian
country, in procuring his land warrant from
the department. The lawyer was delighted
at the prospect Of good fee; the Indian prom
ising him half the worth of the warrant, in the
event Of it being obtained. The lawyer wished
to know of his employer the service he had
performed.
"Don't know talk like this, ~ said the In
dian. 3..
"Well, who did you fight under?" the law
yer asked.
"Me fight under log" said Halo.
"No, but who was your captain r. the law
yer inquired.
Me big man-me captain, too," answered
the Indian.
"I want to know where you fought said the
LAWYER q at what battle ?'
"Me fight heap, me shoot hind tree, me
shoot under bank river shoot gun heap" said
the Indian.
"Well, what did you shoot at?n asked the
lawyer, thinking that he would defer further
questions till an interpreter could be procured.
Ne shoot at GincTal Jackson, tree, Jour
timc,n replied the warrant wanter.
