THE CIVILIZED INDIANS.
visit to their Pleasant Lancaster County
Homes.
On Thursday afternoon Capt. K.H. Pratt,
superintendent of tho Indian industrial
and in company with representative of the
INTELLIGENCER took a drive via Willow
Street, ReftOn, and Strasburg to see q few
of the Indians from the school who have
been spending the summer with families
in the above named places.
The first place visited was the fine farm
and residence of Mr.. G. II. Herr, near
Refton. Here was found Frank Morris, q
stalwart. swarthy Omaha Indian, some
II years old. who has been working for
Mr.. Herr for several months When
Capt. Pratt reached the place, lie found
Frank In the field plowing with a pair Of
horses, and doing his work as we'll as the
| white boys, who were with him in tho
Same field. Frank said he liked farm
| work very we'll, was attached to Mr.. Herr
and his family; but would like to go back
| to the Carlisle school in a week or two,
after the crops have been gathered. He
was in excellent health, except that he is
troubled with an affection of the
left eye. He was told by Captain
Pratt that hs could return to tho
school as soon as Mr.. Herr could spare
him and Mr.. Herr thought it would be
better for him to return to tho Carlisle
school during the winter than to remain
on the farm and 20 to the district school,
where necessarily he would be put in
classes of boys much younger than him
self. Mr.. Herr's farm of 1853 acres is in
excellent cultivation, his lawn all aglOw
with beautiful flowers and his stone man
sion, one of the oldest in the county,
having been built one hundred and
twenty years ago. Tho farm has been in
the Herr family ever since the time Of
VIM. Penn.
| Tho next farm visited was that of b. II .
| Snavely, in Lime valley. Here was found
John primaux, and intelligent Ponce In
dian boy, perhaps 20 years old. He has
been two seasons working on farm, earns
$40 month and his board, and is quite
contented and happy in Mr.. Snavely's
pleasant home. He too wants to 60 back
to Carlisle ard see his comrades, and after
spending short time with them return to
the farm for the winter. Both he and
Frank Morris are ambitious to make
money, and are willing to work for it.
From Snavely's We drove to the fine
residence of John Bachman, short dis
tance south Of Strasburg. Here We found
Mary North, bright intelligent Arrapa
hoo Indian girl, who has been in his family
for two years. She was delighted to see
| Capt. Pratt, and was quite sorry he had
not time to take supper that he might sec
how proficient she has become in the art
of cooking. She is much attached to Mr..
Bachman's family, where she has an ex.
cellent homo and enjoys all the comforts
and refinemeDts that belong to the family
of a gentleman farmer.
From Mr.. Bachman's we drove to MIR.
