HOUSING THE INDIANS.
THOSE IN THE SOUTHWEST DIsGUSTED
AT THE ORDER TO CHANGE THEIR
HABITS AND ABODES.

wichita Kan. Oct l2 (speciaD.-A recent order
of the Indian Department has created CONSERVATION
among the reservation Indians of the southwest
The order is to the effect that all Indians shall
hereafter live in houses. and cast aslae tneii
native places of habitation. If there is anything
that the average Indian holds dear. it is his tepee
or grass house 1t is as sacred to him as his
dances which are also fast passing away Inc
purposes of putting the Indians in frame houses are

Again when the Indians live in tents they are APT

in their games and dances. much to the detrlfnent
of their moral character.
Most of the Indians have never lived under any
thing but huts OF their peculiar construction.
Most of the tribes live in tepees in summer but in
winter they have grass houses, sod houses caves
in the hillsides and leaf covered shacks in the
valleys. The Wichita Indians, who live in Southern
Oklahoma, have the most complete house of any
of the Indian tribes in the United States. 1t is
called a grass house. The Indian first builds
framework, dome shaped Huge logs are set UP in
a cone, and these covered with sod. The squaWs
then weave the long grass of the plains into
kind of Ahck mating. This is waterproof and is
laid in strips the sod. A cone is formed at
the top to turn water. and small entrance is
cut in tie south side A rude door is made to cover
this. There small holes near the bottom Of
the hut for breathing places, and in winter a
chimney hole is cut in the top. But there are no
windows of any sort. In summer the lower part
of the sod house be removed, leaving a good
roof and open sides. In them they spend the warm
weather. Storms have full sweep at them, but
they do not seem to care for this. In case the
wind blows too hard they go into some of tho
numerous caves that may be found on their reserY-
alton.

HE HAD ANOTHER BROTHER.
AND APPEARED WILLING TO DISPOSE OF HIM
AT THE SAME PRICE.
From The Arizona Republican

From The Arizona Republican.
Judge Grouse, Indian agent at White River, in A
letter yesterday 10 l.. J. Rice, related story told
him at the fort Some time ago officer stationed
there accidentally shot and killed a friendly
Apache The officer regretted the occurrence as
deeply as II the victim had been a white man. A
human being was a human being to him, whatever
his color. Besides he feared that the Indians might
not regard the shooting as an accident and serious
trouble might ensue.
The Indian had a brother who came around the
fort threatening outbreak He refused to accept
the accident theory and intfmated United States
had put its foot in II through the action OF it's mill
tary representative, and had cancelled all the
friendly relations which had existed between the
republic and the Apaches. He limited at the war
path and the desolated homes of white men.
The officer proceeded in the right way to restore
a cordial entente. OF course brother could not
be called back out Of the of death, but there
were other things In this world which would take
the wire edge off grief; for instance, ponies and
guns The bereft brother became interested and a
settlement soon reached which had for It's
basis a horse and saddle, a rifle and a lot OF
blankets. The Indian returned later receive the
property. IL turned to him according to
the terms of the peace treaty. The officer threw in
besides great lot of things the mourning relative
had not asked for. The Indian packed the uneX-
pected gifts and the blankets the horse and.
mounting turned to the officer and said: Me got
another brother" which the officer understood to
mean not mere casual information about the extent
OF the family but that the price of brothers would
not be raised in the of another accidental and
fatal shot.
