EUFAULA BANKER INDICTED.
Cashier Young Held Responsible
for Alleged Violations.

A dispatch says an Indictment has
been found against Col. E. B. Young,
cashier of the defunct Eufaula
National Bank, by the United States
grand jury. Colonel Young. accom-
panied by his attorneys and f. w.
Jennings, of Eufaula, and bondsmen,
went before the federal authori-
ties and Judge Jones fixed the bond at
$500. Colonel Young is held respon
sible In the Indictment for all the al
legged violations of banking laws by
the Eufaula National Bank.
There are in the Indictment forty
two separate counts. 1t goes deeply
into the affairs of the Eufaula national
bank.
Among the seri Gus allegations
against Young are that he made two
false entries in an inactive ledger on
Ex-Governor Oates account, one last
November for S., 1923 and one last
March for S7214. The money was
never paid out, but it was merely
false entry. Other false entries of
money paid out only two days before
the failure are also alleged, and it is
charged that the money was simply
distracted.
The first ten counts have to do with
the alleged absence of about $4,000
when the bank failed on October 49,
The next five counts deal with the &C.
count of former Governor Oates, who,
il is alleged, had some $4,000 in Ala
bama state bonds in safety deposit
box, the greater portion of which, it is
claimed, was converted TO the use OF
the bank.

FOUGHT in THE EARLY
WARS OF THIS SECTION.
NOTED RED MAN IS DYING AFTER AN
EVENTFUL CAREER.
Is 100 Years Old, and Participated in
Sti rrng Events When the White Man
Invaded This Section of Georgia.

The Eufaula, Indian Territory, Jour
nal prints the following about vet
eran Indian warrior who participated
in the wars that were fou CHIT between
the white man and the red man in the
early days of this section:
John Lottka, who says he is little
more than hundred years old, is slow
ly dying of old age at his little home
two miles south of Eufaula. john was
| thirty odd years old and veteran
warrior when he came to the Indian
Territory from Alabama with bis peo-
pie. He is one of the few survivors of
the Indian war with Jackson.
John is a christian, member Of
the BaptlsS church and other wise a
| good man. A few DAYS since be be-
came Ill and realized that he was dy-
ing, and began to set his house in r
der. He sent for bis friend, John In
tie up what debts he owed. John said
he was now too old to enjoy life and
wanted to die.
''John Lottka, according to his own
statement, though he does not know
the exact date, was born in east Ala
bama about 1899 or 1900. He has seen
his people, the Creeks, pass through
many periods of their history. When
he was young warrior they were
numerous and powerful, rich in great
and rich country comprising greater
part of Alabama and Georgia and part
of Mississippi and Florida. He partic-
ipated IN their early successful wars
and later in the disastrous wars with
the white men. He saw them lose
their country little by little and he
saw his people die by wars and famine,
and finally their removal TO the In
dian Territory, where the tribe took
a new lease on life and again became
happy and prosperous until the white
man came once TO make his fortune,
kill the game and ruin the Indian.
''The history of the Creek people is
a sad oae, and it is typifed in the life
Of John Lottka."
