has not given them their just portion
of the Indian money. White settlers
near the reservation are arming them
selves and gathering together, fearing
an attack. Arms and ammunitinn

ments have been perfected for the
and Apache Indians. The preliminary
work has occupied the Indian division
of the department of the interior for
some days past, and it has been def
nitely shaped. The instructions gov
erning the work of the allotment have
been issued. They show that Inspec-
tor Mesler and Special Agents E. B.
Reynolds and A. Chawley will have
the responsibility of making the allot-
ments. The instructions cover every
possible development in the work. 1t
is expected that they will leave within
a week for the reservation, and, work
ing in conjunction with Col. Randlett,
the agent in charge of the reservation,
will soon have the matter well in
hand. Some special agents under the
general allotment acts win be with
drawn and money appropriated under
that act is to be used.
Although the instructions issued to
the inspector and general agents direct
them to finish the work within ninety
days, it is recognized here that this
will be impossible and the work of
allotment will still be in progress
when congress- convenes next Decem-
ber What effect this will have upon
the opening of the reservation cannot
be said, but it is thought that it will
be none other than to postpone the
date for the opening. All interested
will have TO face the proposition that
the ninety-day requirement is an inn
possibility.
Each of the special agents will have
the assistance of corps of surveyors,
who will do the technical work of
locating the boundaries of each allot
ment.
The instructions inform the special
agents that every member of the Co
manche, Kiowa and Apache tribes over
Is years of age shall have the right to
select for himself 16O acres of land, to
be held and owned in severalty. The
father, if he be dead the mother, of
members of either of the tribes named,
shall have the power to select a like
amount of land for each of his children
under the age of Is years.
The agents of the department are
cautioned not to allow selections of
allotments to be made in any part of
! the reservation now occupied for mil
itary school or religious purposes, or
now held for public uses. In every
case where member of one of the
| tribes was already in the reservation
the agents are instructed to allow them
to make their selections in the regions
already located and improved, so that
these Indians may retain their i'm
| provements. They are expected to
urge upon the Indians the selection OF
the best lands for agricultural pur-
poses.
The new line of the Kiowa and CO.
| manche reservation is to be observed.
The line recently established trans
ferred large portion of the. Kiowa
and Comanche reservation into that of
the Chickasaws, and similar portion
of the Chickasaw reservation into that
