Crazy Snake. chief of q band of Creek
Indians. is to see President Roosevelt to-
morrow and stoically give his reasons why
his small band should not be forced to re-
Gnquish the old tribal relations for the new
method of severance and partition. The
old chief, once a warrior and statesman
OF renown, holds out with his handful OF
men, women and children against breaking
up the relations that existed with the great
Greeks from the time the first of the tribe
came into the world until the last few
years. Doggedly the old red man will ap-
peal to the Great White Father to per-
init him and his little band to go along
and not force division of their lands
end separation of the people. The Presi-
dent will talk gently to the old man. show
him how much better it will be for the In
dams to become citizens and live as ciu-
Zens of the country live, and will endeavor
to convince him that ne can do his people
good by aiding in the plans of the govern
ment.
Representative Curtis made the appoint
ment for Crazy Snake and will accompany
him to the White House tomorrow.
The scene will no doubt be a picturesque
