This morning in the United States court
Judge Springer had before his honor
William Tiger, a Creek Indian, who was
condemned to be shot by a Creek tri-
bunal for the killing of another Greek
Indian some time ago, says the Muskogee
Times. The case was brought into this
court on a writ of habeas corpus. Tiger
was to have been shot today, and only
the application for the writ saved his life.
The hearing of the case was continued
over until tomorrow at the request Of
Judge Stewart, attorney for the Creek
Nation, and Tiger was turned over to be
placed in jail for safe keeping. When the
case was ordered placed on the docket
the clerk of the court inquired TO know
on what docket it should be placed. His
honor hesitated a moment before giving
his answer whereupon the lawyers at the
bar began to suggest. One said place it
on the law docket, another said place II
on the criminal docket, and still another
said place it on the probate docket. The
court finally decided to place the case on
The criminal docket, as this seemed to
grow out of a criminal charge in the
Creek Nation.
