Take Mr. Flu, Now A aample l the case of Robert Plx, Kho claims to b a descendant of Choctaw Indiana. He snd bis family were left off the rolls and he la quite frank In ststlng thst he wants to be on so aa to shsre the trlbsl bounty Fix wss a Isd of about high school sge when, In 1907, a government com mission held a hearing to determine who were Choctaw Indians and so en titled to a division of the trlbsl prop erty. The Plx family was left off for failure to prove Choctaw connections.' Since becoming old enough to realize what had happened to him, Plx has been sn almost constant wit ness before congressional commltteea. He has a sUck of documents and Indian affidavits that tell a story as weird almost as an "Arabian Nights" tale. He tells It before the senate In dian affalra committee In about this fashion: Hla great grandmother marched overland from Mississippi to Okla homa in the enforced migration of that tribe. She had several children. One of the daughters married a Civil war soldier out In Kansas, had three children by him and then was mur dered. The children were abandoned. They made their way back to Okla homa and lived with relatives among tne cnoctaws. one or the children, Plx says was his mother. Other Cases, Too The commission In 1907 was dla- satlsfled with the story and the Plx amlly got no land. The senate com mittee has not acted on hla case yet. either. The Choctaws still have some coal land aa tribal property and Plx predicts some day he will get a share of it. Not only does the government op pose htm, since It made the original finding, but members of the tribe In good standing on the rolle don't want him In on the trlbnl pool. Thera art hundreds of other In. dlans In like condition. The Klamath Indiana In Oregon have valuable tim ber holdings and pay comfortable fees to a firm of attorneys In Washington, D. C merely to draw up timber tale contracts. Several hundred Indians were left off the Klamath roll also, and thereby hangs another case be fore congress. It Is all very complex, because the Indians did not keep especially good birth records. Among thenuelves they knew who was who. but It Is a tough assignment for a lone Indian at outs with hla tribe to prove his" ancestry. The only witnesses axe other Indian, who would rather have fewer In on the spltt-up anyway. PROFESSIONAL TRAINER FOR ATHLETES AT 0.S.C CORVALLIS, Sept. 1. (m Arrival or Dr. A. I.
