Wichita and Caddo Indians Nothing
more will be done with the Wichita reser-
walton until congress either ratifies or re
jects the treaty made by the commission

la the allotment of the Sac aud Fox In
dians Is found the first instance of the |
allotment of an entire tribe without a
single forcible allotment. The last allot- |
ment had been made several days before |
the time for voluntary aliotments had ex-
piPed. This was due almost entirely TO |
the tact and firmness OF the allotting |
agents. Nedder Payne had lived among
these same Indians for six years and !
knew their disposition thoroughly c. p. |
Walker was well acquainted with the In |
dian character, and was conscientious in |
the discharge of his duty. Where two In |
dian claims came in conflict, the agents |
required them To settle the dispute be- |
tween themselves, and in every instance /
this was done Some of the Indians chose 1
inferior LANDS, but it was done voluntarily.
and il the Indian is satisfied his white |
neighboTs ought TO be. The orphans were /
all allotted the best of land, as this fell 10 /
the agents to select.
