marked the beginning Of the departure
from the golden rule of the oil time
Indian to the system, of corruption that
came in later years. Ut was about this
time that the credit system was intro
duced and the Indian commenced to
buy Gale harroWs and riding cult
vators to cultivate his two acre patch
of sofky. and corruption OF the In
dian council became apparent. In the
early 90s there was constant trouble
because OF cattlemen of Oklahoma
grazing herds across the border in the
territory and vice versa The Creek
council, to obyiate this. passed q meas
ure permitting cattlemen to fonca
large pastures along the border and
thus make barrier that would pre-
vent cattle crossing.
Then other cattlemen began to want
Concessions, and to get what they
wanted, introduced corruption into the
council. SO notorious did this he

ed. jut it has brought ont lucid ex
position of the condition OF the Indian
nations at the time Of the creation of
the Dawes commission and the glgan-
tic fraud that was operative at the
time in the Indian payments. There
are 4,t60 names ON the rolls Of the last
Creek payment made in 1895. These
Creeks nave disappeared and no trace
of them can be found. They are known
officially as Lost Creeks" Within
the last sixty days the commission has
kept up a diligent searcn to locate
them for the purpose OF making allot-
ments. A complete list OF the missing
ones has been published in the news
papers of the Creek nation and notices
of the final closing OF he citizenship

It is that the entire AGO persons died

to him and he signed the pay roll for

continued to draw the money for them
