THE CREEKS THREATEN TROUBLE
On Account of Being Unable TO Com
troll the Action of the
Government.

Government.
Washington, Nov. 24.-There
is prospect of trouble in the
Greek nation. Commissioner OF
Indian Affairs Jones today re-
ceived the following telegram from
Agent Shoenfelt at Muskogee:
| have been informed by prin-
cipal chief of the Creek nation
that Chitto Siarjo and others who
recently visited Washington are
advising fullbloods that they have
been instructed BY the department
to elect and install new chief IN
der old treaties. They viii elect
chief on the oath inst. and install
him on the 9th inst. Chief Is
parhecher spprehends trouble.
There is considerable excitement
l have sent five Indian policeman
10 Okmulgee. Wire me that the
recent visit Of Creek indians TO
Washington was an utter failure,
and that no such advice was given
as reported. Upon receipt Of your
answer to this telegram | viii pro-
ceed 10 Okmulgee.
Commissioner Jones sent Agent
Shoenfelt the following reply:
The Greek Indians recently here
were given no encouragement
whatever in the matter OF their
complaints and sundry impossible
propositions, but were told in
most positive terms that they
could not be heard to protest
against existing conditions in the
Creek nation, and that the Curtis
act was in force there and would
he carried out. The officer wrote
them a letter to that effect. which
they returned to my desk with
manifestation of displeasure. No
promise was made them nor in
structions given as claimed regard
ing the election Of 8 chief. and
this Office will not recognize any
such action asis proposed BY them.
Moreover, Inspector Wright states
that a chief was recently elected in
accordance with the tribal laws.
Commissioner Jones, in discuss
ing the threatened disturbance
among the Creeks. SAID:
"a delegation from the Creeks
was here some time ego. What
they wanted was for Us to ignore
the Curtis law and allow them TO
fern a tribsl government under
their OLD treaties. The PROPOSE
ti9n was absurd, and I 80 inform
ed them. They went away in
huff, but / did not expect they
would carry their anger to the ex-
tent they are threatening. There
is nothing TO Be done but to COM
pei them to obey the law"

ted for the extension OF the lime TO
