A. NJ Dunn OF the Rainy Mountain
school. tells me or rather singular in
cident HE contends that IL has not
rained any worth noticing in this part
Of the country for eieht months.and that
about al the smaller streams have long
since ceased 20 flow. Now. ne says. that
on his way down here yesterday. he
found every stream, big and little. dow-
ing in fun current and yet no rein has
fallen What caused thatg Mr.. Dunn of
fers no explanation OF the strange oc-
currence. and only says: Its a fact. all
the same
Fred Barber has been compelled at last
10 suffer amputation Of his leg above
the knee Surgeon oldham OF wichita
had been sent for. and the operation was
performed today. AIr. Barber is a young
man OF Agent Randlets family. who had
his ankle broken by a fan from his horse
some two weeks aEo. Every effort has
been made 20 save the foot and restore
the broken ankle. but without avail. AM

ar. Nick OF the Rock Island surveying
force and chief engineer OF that company
was here TO-DAY, preparing TO turn a
large force OF nectionlzing surveyors
loose on the Wichita reservation. This
afternoon a considerable body Of them
reached here from the camps in the Klo-
wa and Comanche country. and VIII SO
on tomorrow. I think they aim 70 camp
either on Ionide south OF the FIato ranch
or near the old Williams place on Stink
ing creek. They VIII begin work on the
Washita. next 10 the meridian line. and
work west and norgh as far as they can
reach from their camps.
One or two OF the allotting camps win
follow close after tho section surveyors
in day or two. and the rest OF the al
lotting forces 20 quickly follow suit So
FAR as / can learn. and probably as FAR
as has yet been decided. a. seems 10 be
the plan 70 send Ailottine Agent Musssl-
Ter and his forces 20 begin the aiiotting
work on the Washita On the eastern part
of the reservation. He viii likely estao-
FISH his camps near the home OF W. g.
Williams.
The kirkpatrick aIlottins force (os
which 7 am one) wiz probably make
their camp at what e. known as the Kle-
wa spring. about twelve miles north o.
Anadarzo and mile or So east Of Sugar
creeR- This gang VIII tackle the WIchi-
tas hrst az that tribe is on Sugar creek
am not aware or the plans FOR the
third aliottinx force. but presume it VIII
also take the field a few days later. IL

tia reservation by the time this letter IS
published
