Indian Heirlooms.
From the Kansas City Star.


Out In the western part of the nation
near Hillabe I. T., there is an old Indian
family living in a hut. Travellers stopping
there the other day discovered some inter-
esting relics. There were number of solid
silver spoons, cream ladle and other table
ware, all bearing the initials o. P. Y. The
family is descended from the old Indian
Chief Opothie Yahola, and the initials are
supposed to be his. The ware bears the
trademark Of Cats, Washington D. c.,
and was evidently brought from the capital
in the early 3Os by the old chief, who
bought 1t on some one of his many trips to
Washington. The spoons are worn now to
nearly half size, and are used to scrape pots
and kettles in the ordinary work of the
kitchen. Many offers were made to buy the
reliet, but the Indians refused to talk about
selling. < sa4
In another Indian family have been found
number of emeralds. evidently heirlooms
that have been In the family for nearly a
century. They are owned by an Indian
woman seventy years old, and she refuses
to tell how they came into the family. but
says they have always owned Them.
