Many Thousands In Liberty

Muskogee. Jackson Harnett, Oklu
homo's richest Indian, Ims gone to
Kiinsuu City to huvo u lllng at metro
politan luxury. If lie Ilntls that ho
enn Btaud It, Harnett will mako It
permanent with tlio consent of tho
United States government, of which
ho Is n ward.
Harnett until recently lived In a
two room hlock house ut llenryettn,
thirty miles from Muskogee, wore
cheap clothes, smoked cheap tohacco
and didn't even own u phonograph
which Is an odd way to live for one
rated as worth $0,000,000. While at
IJcnryetta Harnett was well satisfied
In his two rooms, and let his guardian,
uttorneys unri agents of tho Indian
agency In Muskogee and Washington
worry about the millions llowlng from
oil wells on his property.
Ills wants were few and the money
went Into the banks of Oklahoma on
deposits made by thu Indian agency
to his credit.
Bought Liberty Bonds.
When the war was on thousands of
dollars of his money went Into Lib
erty bonds and War Savings stump.
Contributions were made to Institu
tions of learning, and Jackson lived
tho fdiuplc life, never going more
than a few miles from his cabin.
Then he met Mrs. Anna Laura
Lowe and they married. "Kidnap
ing," Is what Harnett's agents called
It. Harnett was held under restraint
until Victor M. Locke, Jr., became
superintendent of the Indian agency
In Muskogee. Locke decided:
"A wealthy Indian has as much
right to spend his money as a wealthy
white man."
Harnett and his wife and her daugh
ter sought to make a dent in the $..
000.000 pile. Mrs. Harnett said her
husband needed a change, and the
government consented to a vacation
In Canada. After that vacation the
Indian was unhappy for the llrst time
In his life and refused to go back to
tho cabin and cheap clothes.
Let Indian Decide.
"Wo are going to let the Indian him
pelf decide where he wants to live,"
Superintendent Locke said. "If lie

If a suitable residence can be found
In Kansas City It will be purchased
by the government for Its wealthy
ward. Otherwise, a house will be
built.
"There's no truth In the report that
wo are going to spend $200,000 for a

said, "but we are going to see to It
that he has a house In keeping with
