SEEKS TO PROTECT
INDIAN ORPHANS
Kate Barnard of Oklahoma Saws
Children Have Been Robbed OF 3
Million Dollars-Guardians
Buy in" Minors Land.

Sapulpa, Ok, June ii.-Miss Kate
Barnard, state commissioner of
charities in Oklahoma, moves that
the time-worn expression, 10, the
poor Indian" be amended to read
henceforward, 10, the poor Indian
orphan" She declares the former
expression should be relegated en-
tlrely, while the latter would bring
the Indian question strictly up to
date.
Miss Barnard is already at work
to have the next legislature pass her
Indian orphan bill. She asserts pos
ltlvely that the Indian children are
being maliciously and willfully
robbed by due process of law" in
many instances. More than mill
ION dollars has been taken from the
children of the red men, who, in
later years, without inheritance or
funds, must necessarily become
wards of the state.
Miss Barnard began 1877 civil suits
in several counties against white
guardians of Indian children and
won every case in favor of the In
dian minors, without the cost of
penny to the estates of the Or
phans, and the amount of money
saved in attorneys fees at the rate
allowed by probate judges in the
past amounted to $4,000.
Much property Restored.
Including cash money and land
restored to the orphans, the prop
erty amounted to full y million
dollars.
in connection with these orphans
there is one duty | would like to
perform" said Miss Barnard recent
ly, but have not the means at my
disposal. About a million dollars
has been collected illegally from the
various orphans by guardians, and
there is nerly "a million more in
expenses charged and paid from
minors estates"
1t is accurately estimated that be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 Indian chill
dren, with parents, had guardians
appointed by the courts, as the pa
rents themselves were either too ig-
norant to look out for the interests
of their offspring or too anxious for
a dollar in their own pockets, to
care.
Minors Were Then Penniless.
Investigation by the charities COM
has shown that in some
cases when the minors land was
sold the minors guardian was the
purchaser, at from $f5 to S25 per
acre. All of this was accomplished
in cue process of law. Then the
deed was drawn in favor of the
guardian and an attorneys fee of
$50 to $75 allowed. After acquiring
the land, then the guardian, too, was
to a fee for his services,
and generally $75 was allowed him.
The guardian thus becomes the
owner of his wards land, and also
of fat fees.
