ODD OLD CHOCTAW LAWS.
One Made the Selling of Their Land a
Capital Crime.


In an old set of laws Of the Chocta W
Nation there is clause which relates
to the killing Of witches. For witch
craft the penalty was death. and for
alleging oneself to be witch or for
saying that any other person was one
was punishable by sixty lashes on the
bare back.
Another declared that no doctor could
take money or any of the belongings
of patient he treated If the patient
died. If the patient were raised up
from sickbed the doctor could ac-
cept what was offered to him. and II
nothing was offered then he could take
in goods what was his just compensa-
ton.
In 1884 the Choctaw council passed
an act which made a person who bar
gained 70 sell any Of the Choctaw land
a traitor and punishable by death.
Any white man who encouraged such
action was deported, An Indian who
sold or disposed of land either to indi-
viduals or to the United States In toto
should be considered traitor and shot
on conviction. This was just preceding
the beginning Of the work of the
