A Courier-Journal letter from Fort
Sill, Indian territory, says; The Quahaha
tribe of the wild Comanches are expected at
Fort Sill to surrender, agreeing to turn over
to the military authorities all their arms and
horses and mules. The horses number about
1000 head, and they have 200 head Of mules.
The band has been raiding on Texas for the
past five years, and the authorities have al
ways failed to induce them to come on the
reservation. They have been anxiously looked
for almost every year by the Fourth United
States cavalry on the Staked Plains, under
command Of Gen. Mckenzie, but seldom were
they, or any portion Cf them, found. Texas
will be rid Of troublesome enemy. But one
small band Of Apaches are now out, and it Is
rumored they will follow the example of then
Quahaha friends which would leave the
| Southern Staked Plains free from hostile
| Indians.
