EccENTRiciTlEs or MoTY TIGER
PoRTER's SUCCESSOR.
Has Long Been a Leader Ia Affairs
Of His Trlbeamen-inslsts on
Doing All oficial Business
in Native Tongue.


Okmulgee, I. T.-Full blood Indian,
bank director. president Of an Oh
company, Methodist minister, Moty
Tiger, the new chef Of the Creeks.
presents an anomaly in the mixture Of
human races. Refusing to speak
any but his native tongue, he assumes
the role Of a reca1citrant, and by TAX
Ing part in the active business enter
prises Of his nation and the develop
ment of its resources, he at once be-
comes q leader Of The progressives
and man Of moment
Tiger is 65 years old. He has been
prominent in Creek national affairs
since 1883, when he was second In
command under the Proctor forces In
the Green Peach war against Ispar-
heecher, which, IN reality, was a war
to determine whether the Creeks
should establish a school system and
become an educated race or should
cling to the ancient tribal modes and
customs. He became member Of the
house Of kings in the Creek legisla-
ture, and held that position for many
years. He was elected second chief
when General Porter was elected
chief for his first term, and was re-
elected when that term expired 9th
erwise he has led an uneventful life
He has lived for many years on a
farm on Deep fork, five miles west Of
Okmulgee. He has been twice mar
ried, the first time to a full blood In
dian woman, to whom three children
were born, and the second time to a
white woman, who is now his wife.
He has been liberal man in the edu-
cation Of his children, and they are
accounted among the very brightest
OF the younger generation Of Creeks.
They have college educations and
stand well In their community. There
was considerable talk about the new
chiefs moving the executive Offices
to Okmulgee, which Is the capital Of
the nation, but he has announced that
he will continue the Offices in Musko-
gee and move there.
Following the precedent set by
Chief Checote many years ago, Chief
Tiger insists that all official business
be conducted in his native tongue,
Chief checote was a good English
scholar, but when it came to official
business he would not listen to a word
Of English, insisting that all business
with his nation be conducted in his
national tongue. So Chief Tiger will
not talk in English, though he under
stands perfectly and can speak good
English. Shortly after his appoint
ment he was in the Office OF The com
missioner to the Five tribes and that
