Congressman Curtis of Ixaw Tribe
Would Go Up Higher.

An Indian is now candidate for a
seat in the United States senate. He
is Congressman Charles Curtis of Kan
sas. Through a most romantic career
he has climbed the ladder of fame
from a poor Indian lad to a position of
prominence among national lawmak-
ers. He started out in life as a jockey
ON the race track, then trained bron-
chos, drove a hack, swept out law of.
fee in pay for an opportunity to study
law, was admitted to the bar, elected
county attorney and then went to con-
gress
Mr.. Curtis, says the Omaha World
Herald. belongs to the aboriginal race
and is proud of the fact that his In
dian forbears were here when Column
bus thought he was discovering a new
world. His mother was a member of
the Kaw tribe. Mr.. Curtis mother
died when he was about three years
old, and he went to live with his In
dian grandmother near Council Grove,
mentioned in the treaty with the Kaw
tribe in 1925.
BY this treaty she and her sisters
We're given what is known as 'Kaw
Mile Four" the tract of land upon
which the city of North Topeka is now
built In the homestead on this tract
of land Congressman Curtis was born
in 1860, and his fine new house marks
the place OF his birth forty-two years
ago.
OF one incident OF his childhood Mr.
Curtis has a very vivid memory. He
was eight years old and was coming
home from school in Council Grove
Kaws, painted and in war feathers,
mounted on their ponies, swoop down
from Il hill overlooking the town and
dash through it toward a hill on the
other side. Mr.. Curtis, urchinlike, want
ed to know the why of all this, and one
of the chiefs paused long enough to
tell him that they were on their way
out to fight their hereditary enemies,
the Cheyennes, and to hold them back
from the town till they could fortify it
little.
In a barn near by a large number of
Kaw Indians gathered, and when the
Cheyennes swept down through the
town they passed this barn. A fierce
shower of arrows stopped them, how
ever and. leaving many of their
braves wounded and dying, they re-
treated, leaving the Kaws victors.
This was the last fight between these
two tribes. Mr. Curtis father thought
this was rather too strenuous life
for his young son, so he sent for him
to go back to Topeka.
