ItltOKKN ARROW TRIMS KING, OK CREEKS, DIKM TL'LSA, Okla. Another of th) famous old Indian leaders who shapA the destiny of the red man In the early territorial days' in Oklahoma bas passed. In the recent death nf David M. Hodge, 79 years old, last "king" of the Broken Arrow tribe of the t'reek Indian nation, Oklahoma lost a most Interesting character. He died here recently. Prominent iu the affairs of hiv tribe since I860, he ranked first anions Creek statesmen, und ul--though he never received the highest honor Iu the power of the tribe, that of the principal chiefship, he wus for years the chief advisor of the Creeks. His advice was sought by a succession of tribul heads and on repeated oc casions he was named by the house of warriors and the bouse nf kings (the senate and house of representa tives ot his tribe) as their delegate Mo the "Great White Father" in Wash ington. It was the proud boust of the old statesmen that he had met and talked with every president since Andrew Juckson. One of the last missions accomp lished by him for his tribe was hav ing congress rule that the Creeks and other Indians were within their righls In stlini; the government for the recovery of lands given to their slaves utter the civil war. Perhaps his greatest claim to fame is the assembling of an English Muskogee I Creek 1 alphabet and dic tionary. The. first effort towaril In formation of this work was made bv ,tbe Rev. John Fleming, a missionary who came with the Muskogees, as they were then called to the Indian territory from Alabama and Missis sippi In 1837-38. Little progress was made until a number of years later when Hodges, as chief interpreter oi the tribe, and the Rev. H. M. Lough ridge, a missionary, collaborated 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 rongress-womnn-elert. who was one of the early Indian mission aries. Hodges nlso translated the Bible into the Creek tongue, the Creek myths Into English aud was co-uu- thor of u volume of Creek-Engllsli ongs. Hodges was mado a Junior officer In the forces of Albert Pike, dis coverer ot pine s peuK, anil was un signed lo the army from Texas earlv In the civil war. As a result or a battle with Vulon forces on Thanks giving day, 1861, in which the army from the north, although possessing superior numbers, was almost an nihilated, Hodges was given the rank of colonel and when the war ended he was In command of a regiment. He was born In Muskogee, Okla., In l!842, his father being u Pennsyl vania German aud his mother a full blooded Creek. NEW GARDEN TOOLS. Not Spray Pumps. New Spray Hose. N'ew Garden How.
