Is besieged with women daily, anxious

he will embrace that religion. Funds

Their Hunting Privileges.

Washington. July 2i.-The following
clause Of the treaty with the Bannock
Indians. while on their reservation
shows the right OF the Indians to hunt
in Wyoming:
'The Indians herein named agree
that they will make said reservation
their permanent home and will make
no permanent settlement elsewhere. but
they shall have the right TO hunt on
unoccupied lands of the United States
so long as game may be found thereon
and so long as peace exists among the
whites and Indians on the borders of
the hunting grounds"
The treaty was made in July 1865.
The policy Of the Indian bureau of late
years has been to pursuade the Indians
to use this hunting privilege as spar
ingly as possible, but the existence
of their right is said at the Indian
bureau to be unquestionable. Now that
trouble has broken out the hunting
privilege is suspended by the terms of
the treaty and the Indian officer has
ordered Indians back to their reserva-
ton.
