Negro Sentenced to Severe Punishment by Tribal Court Is Granted Full Rights of an Indian. nation, resides a negro who is today one of the wealthiest men In that whole section, and who owes his wealth and present Influence to the fact that years ago he received fifty lashes on his bare back, punishment inflicted by the Indian tribal court. People In this day and time win riches by a variety of methods, but the story of this black citizen of the red skin territory Is one of the most re markable and unique In the history of the great West. That Is why It is worth the telling. The black man holds the distinction of being probably the only person in existence who has ex tracted wealth and Influence from the punishment for an alleged crime. Presided Over Tribal Court. A few weeks ago the writer visited the scenes that figure In this story, and had a lengthy conversation with one of the principals, Judge Napoleon B. Childers, familiarly known as Judge "Pole” Chiller* a Creek Indian and noted character, who for years presided over the Creek tribal court. The Inci dent of the wealthy negro Is one of the features In the modern history of the Creeks and has- attracted much atten tion. The story, ns related. Is this: A num ber of years ago there moved to the Indian reservation from the state of Arkansas a negro barber, who settled In the little village of Coweta and opened a “tonsorial" shop In a small, dingy' shack, about the only kind of structure to bo found in the place at that time. Those were the days before the United States government established courts In the territory, and Justice was dispensed by the Indians themselves, the tribal court being the Judiciary power. In the operation of this tribu nal there were but two forms of pun ishment—death njid the whipping post. Prisoners condemned to receive the death penalty were shot, being blind folded and seated In a specially pre pared chair In a grove In the outskirts of the little town. Those sentenced to . be thrashed were strapped to a tree, congressional camDalirn is well under the!r back " bnred and tho ,ash a PP ,,ed congressional campaign is well under hlllltu TnHinn a hic hineklark way in tho Second district between TO VISIT SAVANNAH Special to The Georgian.

This explanation Is necessary, as the old blackjack tree plays an Important part In the story. The Arkansas ne gro. after opening his little barber shop, attended to his business and seemed to got along all right with the Indians. Horse stealing was the main crime the tribal court had to deal with In those days, and after a time the negro barber was accused of this of fense. He was arrested and confined In small inclosure, which served the pur pose of a prison.

He was accordingly arraigned before Judge "Pole." was convicted and sen tenced to receive fifty lashes on bis bare back. At an uppolnted hour was escorted under an Indian guard the old blackjack tree, securely strapped to the trunk, and fifty blows with a heavy strap were rained upon his back, After It was all over and Justice had been satisfied, the barber made com plaint that the tribal court hod exceed ed Its authority: that It had no right t< thrash him, as he was a negro, not an Indian, and announced that he Intend ed to sue the Creek nation. The In dJans realized at once that the negro was right and began planning to rectify matters. The chief nnd his councillors got together, and, after a conference, was determined to soothe the Injured feelings of the negro by giving him and his whole family all the rights of In dians. This was done and no suit was entered. Becomes Influential Citizen. And now, as a result of his experience at the whipping post, the once barber has an abundance of fertile prairie lands, operates one of the biggest hard ware stores In the territory, has an ex tensive .bank account, and Is regarded as a rich and Influential man. Under the tribal court, horse-stealing nnd murder were about the only of tenses dealt with. Murder was pun Ished by death. An Indian convicted of horse-stealing wus sentenced to fifty lashes at the whipping .post: for the second offense he was given 150 lashes, -and for the third offense the death sentence was Imposed. To The , Georgian representative, however, the old tribal judge explained that the death penalty was never 1m posed. "For the third offense of horse-steal Ing," he said, "I would have to sentence the offender to be shot, but the sen tence was never executed. Tho chief of the tribe would always Interfere and commute the death sentence to a cer tain number of lashes.” Death Chair in Judge’s Home. When asked about the offense of drunkenness, the old judge, with a sig nificant smile, replied: "Of course we have never been per mitted to have whisky In the territory and drunkenness didn't, figure before the trlhal court. If an Indian could get hold of whisky he would drink It jind that wan all there was to It." The chair In which many Indians sentenced by Judge "Pole” met their doom Is now a piece of furniture In the home of the old Judge. He keeps It as a grewsome relic of his service as head of the famous tribal court. FEATURES FOR THE FASTIDIOUS ARE CHAR ACTERISTIC OF THE NEW KIMBALL PALM GARDEN.

Judge Hart could not »eo the car, but heard It coming, and knew that It would bo rammed into tho car which had been left standing upon tho track. There was no way to signal tho train crew, but Judge Hart’s mind worked rapidly. Mr. Henry had a box or matches, and In a few seconds he and the judge were striking matches on the track and frantically signaling the en gineer of the train which was thunder ing down upon them. The signal was seen and the freight car, loaded with men, was brought to a standstill within ten feet of tho car which Id-- k.-tl the Hack.
