 She gave similar testimony as her husband about the fight and said she waited outside while her husband went into GilPs office.

with no delays on account Of techni-
Calities. The penalty for larceny Of
livestock was 80 many lashcs on the
bare b7ck-the number based on the
value OF the stock purloined and the
past record of the person convicted.
iFor instance. the stealing ot hog
was punished by the administration
of twenty lashes for the first offensc,
forty for the second and one hun
drcd for the third. with perpetual
deprivation OF liberty for any sub
scquent conviction. Cattle and horses
being OF more value than hogs the
punishment was corrospondingly
more severe. And once guilt had
been established avoiding the pun
ishmcnt was almost impossible.
Some OF the worst men in tho
nation were white men who had
absconded from other ttatps. married
Indian wives and taken up perma
uent abode among the Indian. These
men got into\ the habit Of appealing
to the United states government FOR
protection when they got into trouble
with Indian authorities. We had one
remarkable instance Of this practice
and "A lesson I'm the speedy admins
tration of justice by the Cherokee OF,
ficers which will well illustrate the
point:
a white man by the name of John
ston had married an Indian wife and
made his home on Dog creek near
the presen. city limits OF the town
Of Clarcmore. This man was a
smooth thief and many deprcdations
were charged up to him before q
final conviction. He had few
cattle and. as was the custom IN
those days, would occasionally
butcher one and peddle the beef out
among the settlers, who were ther
few and far between. This went on
for a time until It began TO appear
that he had butChered and sold
