Muskogee, l. T., April IAN or
ganized band of Indian braves, SO
strong, will leave Muskogee to-day for
San Francisco to guard the property Of
the United Street Railway company
against the violence Of strikers. The
company will be led by Capt. Jack
Ellis, Of TahleQuah, the famous ex-
chief Of territorial Indian police, to
whom the railway company has ap-
pealed personally. Plans for this I'M
precedented course began to formulate
last Saturday, when Capt. Ellis received
a telegram from the management Of
the street railway company stating
what was wanted, and asking If he
could accept the task. Since that date
numerous dispatches have been ex-
changed, and perfect understanding
now exists between the two parties.
Capt. Ellis has already selected most
of his men, ten Of whom are to go
from this city, ten from Tahlequah and
the others from various places in the
Choctaw and Creek nations. He will
be captain, William Herring, of this
city, is first lieutenant, and Lee Wyley.
second lieutenant. It was to prevail
upon Herring to accept the task that
Capt Ellis came here in person.
Strange as may seem the course pur-
sued by the railway company, 1t had its
origin in very simple fact. G. E.
Starr, treasurer Of the company, was
in the early days manager Of the Choc-
taw railway. It WIS at that time that
Ellis was exercising that spirit Of dar-'
ing which was later to characterize him
as undaunted bravery. and more than
once the Choctsw railroad was com.
PEELED to call upon him for protection
against the marauders with which
these prairies were infested. After the
country became more civilized, Mr..
Starr, II is said. remembered the serv-
ices rendered by the Indian chief in a
very substantial way-in fact to such
an extent that Ellis looks upon the
present enterprise as an opportunity to
repay q small part Of the debt Of graft
tude he feels due to his benefactor.
