of,a state organization Is not lessened

Was Indian Slave.

Bozeman. Mont.-One of the
picturesque figures of the state has
just left Montana to enter the
Soldiers Home at Los Angeles.
He is John Anderson, ex-slave,
former soldier, and for forty six
years resident of Bohemian.
Anderson is noted throughout
the state, and widely known in
pre- war army circles IS the man
who killed Sitting Bulls son-and
broke the heart of the Sioux war
wior.
Anderson was born in slavery
IN the Cherokee nation, now Okla
bona, sc years ago. His father
was a full-blood Cherokee, his
mother a fuIl-blood Negress. Slav-
cry was DOT presumed to exist in
that section, but it fourished and
many Indians and half breeds
were under the yoke.
In the latter part of 1861, An
dorson escaped and joined the
Union army. He fought through
out the Civil war and later served
in the regulars.
In 1874 he gained fame as a
guide to 4 party of gold hunters
on Porcupine creek. All were
armed, as the i'll feeling among the
Indians which led finally to the
uprising in which General Custer
was killed, had been riI'e for some
time. ,-'.

and Senate and legislation provid-

If the country had not entered the
war, whereupoh all else had to
wait. my plan is to introduce "

ment for the Indians. 1t means
breaking away from the Indian
Bureau. 1t means giving self
government to every Indian group

der the protection Of the United

In addressing The ToMAHAwK
| upon paciGsm, wish to congratu
late it upon its attitude towards
the Indian Office and its legitimate
but immoral offspring the White
Earth agency and its MENACE, the
whole brood of employees waxing
fat at the expense of the Chippe-
wa Indians OF, Minnesota. The
Tomahawk is not pacifist in re-
spect to its attitude towards the
body invested with tie manage
ment of Indian Affairs in this our
country.
In the matters affecting its posi-
ton towards Germany and her
allies, an aggregation diabolically
at enmity with liberty loving
people the world over, this country
possesses the loyal support of its
Indian population, and this is
evidenced by the fact that over
six thousand Indians are IN the
United States Army, not counting
! the large contingent in the Navy.
Further, the Indians are loyal to
4 their white brethren of the
/ country, and to all departments of
| governmental affairs, and would
even protect the Indian Office
were it 80 that the enemies of this
country were able to carry on war
within the precincts of the national
capitol. . f
But having said this much let
me say that the Indian is not at
peace With the Indian Office and
will never cease in the war Of
wordy criticism. This attitude is
perfectly legitimate, for criticism.
no matter how severe, is the right
of the individual or the class,
where oppression exists.
