told the court that Maud Cook had infiict-
ed the wourd with little penknffe. Maud
followed her from the house. she said, and
Sam held her while she was being cut.
YES cut her with my penknife,' said
Maud. Il did it in self-defense and If l

the hospital"
"Why?
Because she pulled a razor from her
stocking and cut at me-"
What was all this trouble about?"
Mamie Davis was jealous of Will Bias. "
Sam Lester than told of the trouble on
Ohio avenue and in Swinghammer's al
ley. and he corroborated what Maud Cook
said. There was no doubt about the razor,
he said, for he saw it.

marked to Mamie Davis. "and 1 guess You

A Novel Plea Made by the Mexican

A brilliantly arrayed delegation of Mex

yesterday, being the first aborigirals to pay
their respects to the new Secretary. Sen
ator Matt Quay and Martin J. Bentley.
agent for the Kckapoos, accompanied and
introduced the chieftains, whose names
were: Wa-pe-che-the, Kah-kah-co-mc,
Wah-e-nock Pan-o-wa, John Nine
John Mine is a talented savage, for he
speaks ten languages, and can talk in sign
language faster than modern shorthand
can take down. He delivered an address
| to the Secretary, the substance of which
was that the tribe refused to take any
| money from the government for their
| lands. and they did not want them allotted
| in Severalty.
| The ground on which he based this OBJ
| lection is q novel one. perhaps today for
| the first time ever presented to a govern
| ment official. He said that the tribe were
| as devout as Christians. They looked to the
| Great Spirit for all good gifts.
| They began the day with prayer; if the
| sun shone they believed that the Almighty
was good to them. If clouds and rair
came, 1t meant to them that they had done
| wrong, and the face of the Almighty was
| turned from them. With the first moon OF
| January they performed solemn rites anC
| danced all through the night, seeking the
|
| rain and for the aversion of evil. and wher
| the corn came they had religious ceremo
| malls. they did also in harvest tide
| They believed that they should do these
| things as tribe, for all the lands of the
| tribe and If their lands were cut up into
| small pieces it would divide and destroy
| the religious character Of the tribe. and bt
| an irreparable injury to them for all time
| to come.
| Mr.. Bentley explained that the Kickapoo
| were today the widest. and most savag
| Indians on this continent that their gov
| ernment and religion were interviewer AM
| nseparabe from their land tenures. The.
| were called Mexican Eiekapoos, he said
| because during the war they annihilated
| body of confederate cavalry, and tindin;
| a larger force was coming against then
| they fed across the Rio Grande and stage.
! for years in Mexico, finally returning t
| their old home in the United States.
| The Secretary assured them their wishe
should be considered ard, If possible, re
| spected.
