Campaign Mapped Out.
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
dians to Indian Territory until writ
OF habeas corpus could be asked for
from the United States court on the
ground 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.. Web
ster, then struggling, unknown young
lawyer, laid his case before him, and
asked him to defend the rights Of the
| Indian.
There is no money in it, but there
is fame, honor and glory" said Tib-
bles.
| Webster took the case, and asked
Judge A. ]. Poppleton, then general
counsel for the Union Pacific, to assist
him and make the argument. Popple-
ton agreed, and then writ was ap-
piled for in the United States court at
Omaha, over which Judge Dundy pre-

most notable trial ever brought in the

States, for by its decision 100000 peo-
pie were made citizens.
Thomas Fl. Tibbles attended every
session of that court. In his own

had lost 700 braves in the white mans
behalf. For this previous secretary
of the interior had given them, in fee
simple, full title to their reservation
and lands.
Lands Taken from Poncas.
Then Mr.. Schurz was made Secre-
tary, and at the point of the bayohet
had driven the Poncas down into In
dian Territory, depriving them of the
lands for which they held government
deeds. The Poncas were left months
without rations IN the new country,
and more than one-third of them died
while there.
And among those who died was the
son of the old chief, Standing Bear.
The chief refused to have the little
body buried in the strange country,
but instead, gathering a few members
of his tribe, he started for the ancient
hunting grounds of his tribe, intend
ing to bury the child where genera
tons of Ponca chiefs lay.
Schurz heard of the runaways, and
through the war department tele-
graphed Gen. Crook, in Omaha, to ar
