While the Kaw Indians were consid-
cred peaceable, they did cause trouble
was on June 2, 1859, when a band of
100 kaw warriors suddenly appeared
on the main street hideouS in their war
paint. Adreas' History of Kansas gives
the following account of the encounter:
Their leader was Ah-le-gah-Wah no
who, about year before had been de-
posed as chief of the tribe. After halt
ing his warriors the chief rode up to
the store of S. NJ. Hays and, still sitting
on his pony addressed him as follows:
You sent for these two horses which
my boys stole from a Mexican trader.
You sent US word that we must not
only give up the horses but that We
must turn over to your people the two
men who stole the horses. that your peo-
pie may punish them. The horses you
can have, but the men you can't have

if a fight ensued the Indians would have
all the advantage as they had come full
" prepared for such an emergency. All
le-gah-wah-ho taking his silence for
fear began to taunt and insult the
whites and to heap abuse upon them.
The abuse was too much for HAYS and
he lost his temper and told the clerk TO
hand him two revolverS that were lying
behinN the counter of the store. While
this pRrley was going on the Indians
had broken their formation; some went
galloping through the cross streets while
the main body gathered around their
leader in front of Hays store. When
Hays had received the revolvers from
the clerk he fired them into the air in
front of the Indians. The Indians only
wanted q pretext to commence the fight
and instead of being frightened by the
firing of Hays some OF the more impe-
tuOuS among the warriors cried out,
Hays is shooting at US. shoot him.. On
hearing this Hays retired within the
store and shut the door. but two or three
men who were on the street became
targets for the Indians Whatever words
were exchanged between the Indian
leader and Hays were done through L.

bullet wound which stretched him
senseless upon the ground. Everybody
supposed that Parks had been killed.

language fiuently, knowing well the

these stone nuts were put to by the
Indians were for stables for their
ponies while they chopped up the wood
work to use as kindling and continued
to live in their tents. Many of these lit
tie stone houses are still standing and
have been transformed into farm
houses by additions.
About three miles down the Neosho
river from Council Grove the govern
ment built two Indian schools but they
have been torn down. In one of these
schools a little quarter blood Indian boy
from Topeka was enrolled. He is now

the youthful Curtis spent in the Indian
school was short but it is one of the
stories Morris county old settler will

serting that it was the Huffaker Indian
mission school in Council Grove which
Mr.. Curtis attended
Mr.. Huffaker tells the following story
of Congressman Charles Curtis, which
he says has never been printed: Il was

1858, and Mrs. Curtis was there with her

pleaded for them, no jury deliberated
upon their guilt or innocence, they had
wantonly shed the blood of two white
men who had done them no injury, and
according to western notions of dealing
with such offenders, justice demanded
that they should suffer death. This was
the verdict and in compliance Herewith
both were hung on the south side of
Main street between the river and the
court house"
This, was the only serious clash be-
tween the whites and Indians though
there was a brush between the KawS
and the Cheyennes as late as 1868 but
even that was not serious and though
the battle LASTED all day only one In
dian was wounded. When the Kaw
lands We're finally allotted in 1859 each
Indian was given 40 acres and the gov

tract to erect 100 stone houses on the
Indian lands for the use of the red
