The Globe-Democrat of yesterday gives the following account of the banquet tendered to Gen. Porter Thursday night
at St. Louis:
Pleasant Porter, chief of the Creek nation, Indian Territory, was the guest of honor at a dinner given by Zach Mulhall and the
kamesis club in the cafe of the Planter's hotel last evening. Mr. Mulhall, who is live stock agent for the Frisco railroad,
was toastmaster, and there were responses by many of those present. Gen. Porter, in his response, made a very appropriate
speech, speaking of the binding together of the red and white menb in the recent allotment of the Creek Indian land and the
giftof American citizenship to the Indians of his tribe. Gen. Porter will continue in office for several years yet, although
the tribe is now practically under the white man's rule.
Mr. R. T. Heed, of the Frisco, responded to the toast "The Creek Nation." The menu card was of cream color, the front
cover being decorated by an elk's head. Members of the Kamesis club frequently make trips to the Creek nation on hunting trips, so many
of these who dined together last night recalled camp experiences in the land where General Porter rules. Those present were:
Pleasant Porter, Miss Lucille Mulhall, W. J. Thornton, E. L. Mocler, Fred Weideman, Dr. Geo. Borgelt, R. F. Head,
E. T. O'Fallon, Zach Mulhall, J. Franklin Carr, W. B. Finney, John R. Fontana, Miss Georgia Taylor, Geo. Munson, and J. A. Edminston, of
Guthrie, Oklahoma. Chief Porter was presented with a gold match case during the evening.
