Congress had authorized to be paid to the
Creek Indians in settlement of land matters
was paid by the Interior department to the ac-
credited representatives of the Nation. These
men were authorized by the Creek council to

Nation acknowledge this and have not at
tempted to place the responsibility for the safe
delivery OF the money upon the government

Bell said, usually convinced the white clerks
that they were unreasonable and hot headed
