AS they were taken prior to Lincoln &

An interesting case has arisen in
connection with these claims which
is unique. In 1882 the Comauche
Indians made raid across the bor-
der into Texas II was known that
a certain farmer, who was reputed
to be wealthy, kept bis money in his
house. The Indians demanded the
treasure. The farmer denied the
possession OF IL. After repeated
threats, which resulted futilly, the
Indians tied him up by the thumbs

relaxed and turned over to them the
$50, 900 in question. The Indians
took the treasure and departed, fol-
lowed shortly by a band of settlers.
A number of the Indians we're killed
and two were captured, but the
money was never secured. The two
captured Indians were convicted and
sent to the penitentiary. Claims
were afterwards fled against the
government to recover the $50, ,0OC
taken. After a long wrangle the
claims were finally paid. In the
meantime the man died and litiga
tion arose over the distribution oil
his estate. During the course OF the
trial his wife and his mother testified
that the $40 900 taken was Confeder
ate money. News OF this fact, how
ever, never reached the government
until years after the money had beer
distributed and the heirs had become
scattered throughout the various
states.
