PAWN OF THE CHERoKEEs.
How the Indians Received Their None
and Paid their Debts

How the Indians Received Their Money
and Paid their Debts.
! The Cherokee nation literally rolled
in money when the $6,5OO,oO0 received
from the sale Of the Cheroffee strip
was disbursed among the tribal citizens
The per capita share was $265,70. The
payment was made usually with two
500 bills, one $50. one $40, one IS and 70
cent in silver.
The money was disbursed by Zeke
Starr, treasurer, and Henry Effort, as
sistant treasurer of the nation. Most
of the Indians We're in debt, and credi-
tors swarmed in towns where the pay
ments were made T. A. Latta, who at
tended these payments, in recalling in
cidents lately said;
Much has been told Of the dishon-
esy of the Indian, but in this payment
there were many examples of integrity
At Tahlequash and old fullblood wo-
man, perhaps sixty years old, a widow,
drew for elevn participants in the fund.
She had traded with many merchants
who sat at the tables between which
she passed. After the money had been
counted out to her she swept the entire
amount into her apron and, holding a
corner in each hand, she passed from
trader to trader, passing before each
until each had taken sufficient
amount to balance her indebtedness.
Not once did she count her change or
investigate the account. She was hon
est, and, conscious of her own inte-
gritty, did not question the honesty of
another This was only one case. There
were scores like it, and, though not
pleasant to relate, the confidence thus
placed was sometimes betrayed. There
are cases where the greedy creditor
took handful and gave back no
change.
"A mixed blood of some astuteness
came to settle his account with ira
der. In looking over his account he
discovered a charge for a side saddle,
, amounting to SIS. He had not made
such a purchase and had the bill re-
NEEDED without trouble, the willy old
trader merely telling his bookeeper to
, place the item to John Does account.
The bookkeeper himself is authority
for the statement that in this way that
selfsame saddle was collected for eigh-
teen times"
In Claremore bankers were in atten-
dance from Coffeyville, seeking de-
posits for their banks. One store in the
town had a safe of moderate dimen-
sions and security, and this store was
headquarters for bankers and collectors
alike, The merchant himself had a
mere bagatell of some 100000 on the
payment After supper the counting
room was filled with collectors and
bankers. A parlor table was called in
to use and money as high as ones chin
was stacked on every inch.
1t was the minute for verifying the
memorandum of the day. On one par
ticular evening there were on this table
at one time close to 100000 in crisp,
new Treasury notes. Lapsful of money?
There were wagon loads of it! 1t was
no uncommon thing to change a $100
bill for a scent sale. And the scarcity
of change was responsible for the Gus
tom of charging Is cents for changing
bill of that denomination.-Kan
