OLDEST INDIAN DEAD.
Uncle Jimmy Walker, Shawnee IN
dian, Dies at Sperry.

Tulsa, Okla, March 21.-After hav,
ing seen 109 years and the start OF
another, Uncle Jimmy Walker, eX-
soldier and Shawnee Indian, the only
man in the world who ever had leg
amputated at his age and lived to tell
the tale died yesterday at his home
near Sperry in Tulsa county
Uncle Jimmy was one of the quaint
est and most interesting persons IN
the state of Oklahoma, if not the en-
tire country.
He came to Tulsa on last Labor
day with Chief Spybuck, and othe'
Shawnees, an celebrated the pcca
son that was on September !, 1911
Following a days celebration, he went
to the Midland Valley depot with his
friends to wait for the train that
would take them home. Rain began
falling and Uncle Jimmy took refuge
under a box car. An engine hooked
on the car and before Jimmy could
eXtricate himself, his left leg had
been almost crushed off at the knee.
He was taken to the Tulsa hospital.
Physicians shook their heads Not in
the annals OF surgery had a person OF
more than 100 years of age been oper-
ated on to that extent, and survived.
But Uncle Jimmy had lived the stur-
dy life of the Indian and he told them
to 90 ahead. He was as stolid as his
fOreiathers and possessed all their
nerve. More than a century OF life
in the open had left its good results,
At the hospital after his left leg had
been amputated at the thigh, Uncle
Jimmy remarked that he expected to
live until he was 140 years old.
Walker was nine years old at the
time of the war of 1912 He was one
of the principal medicine men for the
Shawnee tribe. He was well preserv-
ed and dressed in civilized clothes.
Until his death he took good care of
his farm near Sperry He survived
all hS~family and most of his rela
tives. His son died a short time ago
at the age of 60.
Uncle Jimmy was born near Sabine,
Texas in the year OF 1903. He took
part in the Mexican war and fought
under General Sam Houston in 1886.
While in the hospital here he exhibit
ed a wonderful memory. describing
the old flint lock guns with
which he once fought. He enlisted "a
a soldier in the civil war from the
ChOctaw nation, in Oklahoma, and |
since has made his home in this Vi
cinity.

COTTON PRICES ADVANCED.
BAD WEATHER IN SOUTH Help
ED RISE TO SOME EXTENT
GOOD Demand from Mills Has Sery-
ed to COunteract Fears Of Disas-
trous Effects OF Apprehended Coal
Strike.

New York, Feb. 23.-Cotton has
advanced owing partly to bad weather
at the South and a belief that crop
preparations are some two to three
weeks late over a large portion Of
the cotton belt. The destruction Of
about 100000 bales at Houston and
Bombay had some effect for a time.
The persistent trade demand from
European and domestic mills, how
ever, has counterbalanced to a very
great extent even the danger of a
colossal coal strike in Great Britain.
involving some $4,000 men. For the
time being, about the only effect is
to cut down the spot sales in Liver
pool and to cause some restriction Of
trading In futures on this side. The
dry goods market is gradually i'm
proving. Prices are firm for all
classes Of goods and in some cases
have advanced. Exports Of raw cot
ton reach very high total.
1t Is a remarkable fact that this
year European mills have in some
cases bought cotton far ahead in the
fear that something may happen to
the next crop that would send prices
back to the dreaded 15-cent level.
The fact that there have been
swings in the crop in recent years Of
100000 to 100000 makes the
weather news ana news about crop
preparations at this time Of special
interest. Some Georgia reports are
to the effect that the season is re-
markably backward and similar re-
ports come from other parts of the
belt. 1t goes without saying that If
the start is actually much delayed
and really bad, it will. as usual, be
exaggerated for speculative effect. On
the other hand, the visible supply of
American cotton is the largest ever
known and with prices at better
price-levels, it is not believed that
any serious or widespread effort will
be made to cut down the acreage
materially.
