dent of this county for many wears
tie. is better known here by our citi-
zens than by us. In many respects
peculiar, he has a warm heart for
those who he believes TO be his
friends. lie came to this county pen
niless and at one time owned an estate
valued at near $4,000. Reverses
overlook him, and last week when he
left for Indian Territory, at the age of
siXty-eight wears, he was as poor as
when he first started out i'm life. Mr.,
Case is a defendant of the Cherokee
tribe. His great grand mother was a
full blood and Mr.. Case is one-fourtb
Cherokee. The government, through
its proper official, has decided that
any man who has properly proven
that he is Of Cherokee blood, even
though ii be remote, is entitled 10 the
same rights, when applying as a full
blood Cherokee, who are recipients
of the Government. The Cherokees
have large landed interest, besides
many million dollars in cash. and Mr..
Case has gone TO claim his inheritance
az a Cherokee descendant. '
