INDIAN PARADISE is FOUND.
Cherokee would Take Brothers to
South America.

Tahlequah. Okla.-Jack T. Little.
a Cherokee Indian, has come forward
with an entirely new proposition to
locate the Indians Of the Five Civil
ized Tribes, who are not satisfied with
existing conditions Of things. in new
home He proposes to take them to
South America, to a country which he
claims to know well, and which. he
says, has only been partially ex-
pl0red, but which would make an ideal
home for the Indians. for It Is a land
that is free, with no white men to IN
terfere
Mr. Little Is seeking to get in com
munication with ali dissatisfied In-
dians, and says the South American
proposition Is a far better one than
the proposed removal Of the Indians
10 Mexico. which has been talked o. so
much recently.
It Is the general opinion Of white
men that when the Indians have TO
pay their arst taxes they will break
away from Oklahoma and seek a home
where there is no law, no taxes and
no government, save that OF their own
tribal regulations
