SAVAGE TORTURE
Cherokee Indians Nearly Kill
Col. A. J. Blackwell.
He is Stripped and Jabbed With
Sharp Spears
ACCUSED OF TREASON.
NearlyDead He is Again Thrown
Into Prison
OF TREASON.

DAVID, L T., Dec. s.-Last week
mention was made to the effect that
Colonel A. j. Blackwell, who created
a Juror some years ago by claiming
powers as a seer, prophet, etc, had
been seized BY the authorities Of the
Cherokee nation on the charge Of
treason, the crime according to the
laws passed by the Cherokee congress
being punishable by death. The
specific charge against him was sell
ing land in the Cherokee country to
white people
Blackwell is known all over the
West When the Cherokee strip was
opened last year Blackwell founded
the town of Blackwell in Kay county,
started newspapers, stores. etc, and
made a fortune. After the country
the Cherokee nation and founded this
town. He started a paper store and
realty agency and was general super
intendent OF the town
a number Of Cherokees did not like
Blackwell and a conspiracy was
Matched whereb by he was TO be seized
and put to death The charge was
made that Blackwell, contrary TO the
laws Of the nation, sold land 10 white
persons. Two days later q squad OF
Indian police swOoped down on
BlackWelIs home and dragging the
prophet from the arms Of his wife and
children carried him in irons to the
Cherokee dungeons at Claremore-
There he was cut off from all COM
munica ton with the outer world aud
put on bread aud water.
On Monday Blackwell was taken
from prison and after being stripped
naked and his flowing whIskers and
hair cut off, he was taken before chief
Ohaha, who was holding a sub cOun-
ell and asked to confess. Blackwell
answered that he had no Onfession
to make. that he was the victim of
villainOus cons piracy and asked to be
released, but instead he was carried
bodily to the Needles and horxiOly
tortured
The Needles is a small inclosure
near the prison where culprits who
refuse to confess their crimes are
taken and jabbed in the body by ten
bucks who dance around him With the
terrible tki-yI" and jab as they dance
After being subjected to these indig-
mites, Blackwell. bleeding from in
Vulnerable flesh punctures. was taken
back to his dungeon where he still
remains, ironed hand and foot, not
withstanding he fervent appeals Of
his wife and friends. No date has
been fixed for the unfortunate man s
trial and there IS no telling what ter
rible punishments are in store for
him.
What makes the case con- plicated
Is the fact that he is a white man Ind
an American citizen He has no
Cherokee blood IN his veins as some
reports have it. The case is one
which needs the immediate atten ton
of the government, or can 4 citizen of
