with his mothers people and was
made a Creek war chief.
The Creeks were a powerful fedora
ton of Indian tribes whose lands
stretched through several Of the
southernmost states. The white set
tiers, growing more and more numer-
Gus. cast envious eyes on the rich
Creek country and appealed to the
United States government to get 1t
them. It was the same old story en-
acted so many times along the frontier
when the white man has wanted the
Indians land. The government turned
over several million acres OF Creek
territory to the state of Georgia Nc
Intosh pointed out to his people that
unless they stood firm for their pos
have every acre Of their once huge
tract Of land. He then drew up a law
which the Creeks eagerly adopted
making it crime punishable by death
for Creek to try to sell TO the United
States any of the remaining territory.
This law made Mcintosh immensely
popular with the Indians. He now
proceeded TO make himself equally
popular with the government
In the War of 1912 most OF the
Creeks sided with Great Britain. But
Mcintosh declared himself a friend of
the United States and managed to
raise big war party, which followed
him against the rest of his nation :"
He attacked village of Creeks (At-
ASH that had sided with England and
massacred its 200 men, women and
children. In other conflicts Of that
same war he fought so savagely
against his own people az TO win not
only the rank Of major, but the trust
Of our government. Incidentally his
services opened to him pleasant field
/ for graft.
/ The United States was eager for
more Of the Creek lands. Mcintosh
stood high in the Creek councils He
could be Of use in managing treaties"
/ for the despoiling Of his people. He
willingly accepted the government
offer and secretly became its paid
tagent. 1t was a highly profitable bit Of

Paddington, found him dressed pre-,

night and made a safe escape with
$40 In cash and q quantity Of cigars.
~ is thought that possibly they Sc
cured more than $40 in cash. but this
has not been learned definitely. The
robbers effected an entrance into the
store by breaking through the flooring
IN the rear Of thee drug store They
had evidently known OF the layout Of
the store. for they broke through the
only possible place. A ladder In the
basement, entrance 10 which is gained
from Fourth street, showed that they
had prepared for the robbery. The rob.
bers had evidently watched the store
closely in the early part Of the night,
for II was by chance that the money
had been left out OF the safe. This
amount was left IN a sack in a drawer
and when the store was opened yester
day. every drawer in the store had
been Tansached.
