Choctaw by blood. Files: Memorandum of
statement by Mr. Tom Hunter, ex-candidate
for governor of the Choctaw Nation, made at
Hugo, Okla., November 12, 1008. See Part I.
Exhibit F. report March 3, 1909. In the
course of an interview with Mr. Hunter on
the above date he stated that there was a
person whose mime he was unable to state
living south of Roswell, Okla., entitled to
enrollment as a Choctaw by blood. He also
stated that he thought there were other

promised to advise Mr. Knapp, the district

Unknown Full-Blood Indian and Minor Son.
Choctaws by blood. Files: Statement of Mr.
T. M. Humphrey, made November 10, 1908, at
office of district agent, Atoka, Okla. See
Part I, Exhibit F. report March 3, 1909.
According to Mr. Humphrey's statement this
old Indian was a full-blood Choctaw who at
one time employed him to represent the case
before the Dawes Commission. Mr. Humphrey
says that he could prove by old Indians he
knew and who knew him that he had resided in
the Choctaw Nation for a number of years,
and that in all probability he came to the
Indian Territory among the early settlers
from Mississippi, after the "Dancing Rabbit"
treaty that his enrollment was refused for
the reason that his name did not appear on
the tribal rolls. Mr. Humphrey stated
further that he refused to consider these
cases after finding that the act of May 31,
1900, seemed to apply to them, and that he
advised them that their case was hopeless,
and that the Commission to the Five
Civilized Tribes would not receive their
application for the reason that their names
did not appear upon the roll of citizens
prepared by the tribal authorities; that
these Indians resided near Legal, Okla., and
that Mr. D. A. Lawrence, at Non, Okla., can
give some information relative to them.
