jacksonville Times-Union: 'Why, it's
| all a hoax" said Capt Ely Spencer to
reporter Wednesday morning, when ques-
| toned concerning the threatened trouble
| with the Seminoles. Nobody feels any
uneasiness at all, and the whole thing APP
| pears to be the work of a sensationalist,
| who wishes to curry favor among the
| Indians, and appear to be their friend, in
| order that he may sell them whisky and
! other stuff. OF course, there is some little
| truth on which to found the sensation,
! but mighty little. l was at Titusville yes
! terday ana saw Charley Davis, who lives
| at CoCoanut Grove, where the alleged
|
Davis says that Little Tigers son, fun
| grown man, 80 years old, shot deer in
! the potato patch and near the
! house of John Henson. Henson
had planted the patch as a decoy
| for deer, and he was naturally
angry with the Indian and told him that
| he must never do it again The Indian
became saucy and said that the white
men had no business there anyway, and
that all the land belonged TO the Indians.
| This made Henson angrier and he
SLAPPED the Indians face" Didn't the
Indian resent it," asked thereporter. so,
no. There's no fight in them unless they
fill up on wyomi and have a pow-wow
and then they fight only when the odds
are all their own way. Well to continue
the story, the Indian turned and went for
his camp and that's the last heard of the
matter by the people in the immediate
vicinity They know nothing of the Tigers
alleged departure to see the governor,
and they ought to be the ones
to know if anybody does" A special
! from Tallahassee to the IimeS-Union of
Thursday said "a telegram from jack
sonville late this afternoon announced
| that Captain Ely Spencer of Biscayne
Bay says that the Little Tiger story is all
| hoax This shows that Captain Spencer
| doesn't known anything about it. The
information that Little Tiger is on his
! way mere Is oHcldl anu comes OlrecIly IN
letter to the governor from one of the
state Indian commissioners appointed by
| Governor Fleming under the act of 1899
| This letter gives all the details
of the affair and states that the
chief has started to walk TO Tai
lahassee. The object of the letter was to
acquaint Governor Mitchell with the
facts so that he will know how to receive
the Indian and talk to him when he ar
rives" Another version of the story is
that the Indian was whipped because he
started fire which burned over 1000
J acres.
