Jackson Barnett Will Sample
City’s Luxury With His Bun
dle of Oil Money.
IS RAO AT FIVE MILLION
Lived Simple Life While Milllone
Were Accumulating — Invested
Many Thousands In Liberty ^
Bonds During the War.
Muskogee.—Jackson Barnett, Okla
homa's richest Indian, has gone to
Kansas City to have a fling at metro
politan luxury. If' he Unds that he
can stand "It, Barnett will make it
permanent—with the consent of the
United States government, of which
he is a ward.
Burnett until recently lived in a
two room block house at Ilenryetta,
thirty miles from Muskogee, wore
cheap clothes, smoked cheap tobacco
and didn’t even own a phonograph—
which is an odd way to live for one
rated as worth $5,000,000. While at
Henryetta Burnett was well satisfied
in ids two rooms, and let his guardian,
attorneys and agents of the Indian
agency In Muskogee and Washington
worry about the millions flowing from
oil wells on his property.
Ills wants were few and the money
went Into the banks of Oklahoma on
deposits made by the Indian agency
to his credit.
Bought Libsrty Bonds.
When the war was on thousands of
dollars of his motley went Into Lib
erty twnds and War Savings stamps.
Contributions were made to Instlto-
tions of learning, and Jackson lived
the simple life, never going mure
than a few mile* from his cabin.
Then he met Mr* Anna Laura
Lowe and they married. "Kidnap
ing. M Is what Barnett'a agents called
It. Barnett w>» held under restraint
until Victor IL Locke, Jr., became
•uperlntendent of the Indian agency
In Muskogee I.ocke decided;
“A wealthy Indian has as much
light to kpend bis money as a arealtby
white man. - *
Harnett and his wife and her daugh
ter sought to make a dent In the $>*>.-
•MOeisi pWe. Mrs. Barnett said her
husband needed a change, and the
government consented to a raeath«fl
la Canada. After that vacation the
ladlau was unhappy for the tirat time
In his life and refused to go hack to
the cabin und cheap clothes.
Let Indian Decide.
"We are going lu let the Indian him
•elf deride where he wants to live."
ttui»erinten«lent Locke said. “If he
want* to live In Muskpfee, »U right.
If he chooses some other city we have
nothing to say In the way of object
ing, for he has the right to make his
own decisions.** r
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
we are going to spend $200,000 for a
residence for Jackson Barnett,” Locke
said, “but we are going to see to It
that he has u house in keeping with
his wealth and one with which he will
be satlsfled.”
