chained to each other in pairs. Cocker,
who was captured by Deputy Davidson
near the Oklahoma line. was the most
striking figure in the bunch. He is six
feet three inches tall and straight as an
arrow, a typical full-blood Indian. Snake
is not so tall, but he's Tnjun all right
Snake wore a black SLOUGH hat chin
chilla overcoat and was eagerly asked for
by the crowds that passed about the
gang as It was escorted down to the
jail. These full-bloods are OF as pure
strain of Creek Indians as can be found
in the tribe. They are 1ineal descendants
Of those Greek Indians who were whip
ped by General Jackson during the win
ter Of 1881 and grandfathers relate
OF those times-the first years of the last
century. It has not yet been decided
whether these men viii be tried for trea-
son or on q charge in which the civil
rights laws will form a basis. Enough
evidence has been secured through the
records of Harjo's council to establish n
charge Of treason, but that will rest with
the court after this evidence has been
submitted"
