The government was absolute autocrat

frequently abused fearfully. There had
grown up, in Washington and at the

the Indian affairs.
A Memorable Trek.
Back in 1879 pitiful procession
wended its slow way northward from
Indian Territory, bound, for the prairies
of Nebraska. There were thirty In
dians on foot and one old wagon, drawn
by two wornout horses. In the wagon
was the dead body Of child-an In
dian boy. And the leader of the little
harty WAS the father Of the dead child;

carefully prepared and consumed six
teen hours in the delivering, occupying
the attention Of the court for two days.
On the third day Mr.. Webster spoke
for six hours. And during all the pro-
ceedings the courtroom was packed with
the beauty and culture Of the city.
t'Towards the close Of the trial the
situation became tense. AS the wrongs
inflicted on the Indians were described
by the attorneys, indignation was often
at white heat and the judge made no
attempt at suppressing the applause
which broke out from time to time

Planning a Great Campaign.
Standing Bear told Crook his indi-
vidual story. The great Indian fighter
knew the general history of the Indians
and was already indignant at their
treatment, but the treatment accorded
Standing Bear was too much and even
the stern warrior rebelled. That night
Crook came into Omaha and had an all
night's conference with Tibbles, then
an editorial writer on a newspaper. A
campaign of Indians rights was
mapped out and both men started out
the next day to carry out their parts.
Crook was to delay returning the In
dams to Indian Territory until a writ
of habeas corpus could be asked for
from the United States court on the
grounds that the constitution, in the
fourteenth amendment guaranteed to all
persons born in the United States equal
protection of the law.
Tibbles looked out for the legal end
Of the deal. He went, to John L.
Webster, then struggling, unknown
young lawyer, laid his case before him
and asked him to defend the rights of
the Indian.
tFThere is no money in it, but there
is fame, honor and glory,' said Tibbles.
Webster took the case and asked
Judge A. J. Poppleton, then general
counsel for the Union Pacific, to assist
him in making the argument Popple-
ton agreed and then a writ Of habeas
corpus was applied for in the United
States court at Omaha, over which pre-
sided Judge Dundy. -" -.
The Famous Trial.
It was the most notable trial ever
brought in the west and in fact, the
scope was as wide as any ever tried in
the United States, for by it's decision
100000 people were made citizens.
Thomas H. Tbbles attended every
session Of the court. Hear, in his own
words, what he has to say of it:
The courtroom was crowded with
fashionably dressed women and the
| clergy, which had been greatly stirred
by the incident, were there in force.
Lawyers, every one in Nebraska and
many from the big eastern cities; bust
in their dress uniforms (this was one
of the few times in his life that Crook
wore full dress in publicly; and the In
dians themselves, in their gaudy colors.
The courtroom was galaxy of bril-
liancy.
On one side stood the army officers,
the brilliantly dressed women and the
white people; on the other was Stand
ing Bear, in his official robes as chief
of the Poncas, and with him were his
leading men,: Far back in the audience,
shrinking from observation, was an In
dian girl who afterwards became ia
