FAMOUS INDIAN PASSES
LAST "x:1AG" BROKEN AR
ROW TRIBE DIES
David M. Dodge Was Known AS
Oklahoma's Most Interest
ing Character
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch.l

Tulsa, Okla, January 20-Another
of the famous old Indian leaders who
shaped the destiny OF the Red Man
in the early territorial days in Okla
homa has passed. In the, recent death
Of David NJ. Hodge, 70 years old, last
king" of the Broken Arrow tribe Of
the Greek Indian nation. Oklahoma
lost a most interesting character. He
died here recently.
tribe since 1866, he ranked first
among Greek statesmen, and although
he never received the highest honor
in the power of the tribe, that of the
principal chiefship he was for years
the chief adviser Of the Greeks. His
advice was sought by a succession
Of tribal heads and on repeated oc
casions he was named by the House
of Warriors and the House of Kings
(the senate and the house of repre-
sentatives of his tribel as their dele.
gate to the Great White Fathers"
in Washington.
1t was the proud boast of the old
statesman that he had met and talk
ed with every president since Andrew
Jackson. One of the last missions
accomplished by him for his tribe
was having congress rule that the
Creeks and other Indians were within
their rights in suing the govern
ment for the recovery Of lands given
to, their slaves after the civil war.
Greatest Claim To Fame
Perhaps his greatest claim to fame
is the assembling of an English
Muskogee Creek alphabet and die
tionary. The first effort toward the
formation of this work was made by
Rev. John Fleming, a missionary who
came with the Muskogees, as they
were then called to the Indian Ter
ritory from Alabama and Mississippi
in 1878. Little progress was made
until a number of years later when
Hodges. as chief interpreter Of the
tribe, and the Rev. R. NJ. Lougnbrid-
ge, missionary, elaborated and
finished the book, which has been Of
inestimable value to the tribe.
When a lad, Hodges was taught in
an Indian mission school by the
father Of Miss Alice Robertson, Okla
homa'S congress woman elect, who
was one of the early Indian mission
aries. Hodges also translated the
Bible into the Creek tongue, the
Creek myths into English and was
co, author of volume of Creek EnA
fish songs.
Hodges was made a junior officer
in the forces of Albert Pike, discover
er of Pixies Peak, and was assigned
to the army from Texas early in the
civil war. AS result of a battle With
Union forces on Thanksgiving day,
1861, IN which the army from the North
although possessing superior numbers
was almost annihilated, Hodges was
given the rank of Colonel and when
the war ended he was in command
of regiment He was porn in Musk
ogee, Okla, in 1912, his father being
"a Pennsylvania German and his
mother fullblood Creek.
