There can now be no doubt that all the depreda-

The aggregate number OF souls foots up 1900, and
includes the Kiowas, all the Apaches and the ma
jority of the Comanches, including those who have
heretofore regularly drawn their supplies from the

they commit murder they are not punished; if
they rob even the government the property Is not
