INDIAN TERRITORY
BANK ROBBERY

South McAlister, l. T.. Dec. 2S.-A
gang of five bank robbers looted the
bank in Kiowa. small town sixteen
miles north of here, at 3 O'Clock yes
terday morning, and escaped after sew
eral hundred shots had been ex-
changed between the robbers and a
posse of fifty citizens of Kiowa
The robbers dynamfted the safe and
secured about $500 in cash, some of
which is believed to have been mutilat-
ed by the explosion. The bank build
ing was partially wrecked, the damage
to the building being about $500.
An entrance to the bank was gained
by the use of crowbars. through a rear
window. While two of the men did the
work of blowing the safe, three re-
mained outside the building as guards.
The first explosion was failure, max
ing loud report but doing little dam
age The citizens heard the noise and
arming themselves with revolvers and
shotguns, hurried to the bank
AT the command of a leader of the
citizens. volley was fired at the rob-
bers. who were visible through the
shutters. The fire was returned by the
guards secreted on the outside.
While the two men on the inside
worked, the three men outside kept up
steady fusllade with the posse of cit
izens. 1t took three explosions to open
the safe.
After the last explosion the burglars
gathered up the money and. leaving
through the front of the bank, got
away in the darkness. The posse fol-
lowed the gang for some distance, but
lost the trail
While the citizens believe that one
of the robbers was injured, not one of
the citizens was struck. The latter
were protected from the fire of the rob-
bers by stock pens in TIE rear Of the
bank buildinp

the court that neither this honorable

inquire into said matter any further.
No court has any power to make
any order in such case excepting an
order dismissing the petition to quash

Civilized Indian Tribes.

the citizens of the tribes and assimi-a
lating tribal conditions generally to
American citizenship standards, says
that the work will be disposed of "by
ths end Oh the fiscal year. 1905.'
Regardins recent revelations in the
territory, the report says:
The sgme interests are opposed to
the completion of this business that
were opposed to its being commenced.
and as the end draws near they pursue
with redoubed energy the same tao
tics of obstruction. fault-ipding. ex-
aggeration, SANDER and all manner of
false statements in order to confuse
the situation, muddy the waters and
embarrass, hinder and prevent the con
clusion of the work. But every con
sideration of Legitimate interest calls
for the firm and consistent mainte-
nance of the past and present policy
or the government; and we only ask
OF Congress and the administration,
whose instruments We are, that before.
they heed these extraordinary stateo
ments, yet not more extraordinary
than those of 1898, they hear both
sides now, as then. and we venture
the assertion that inquiry will develop
that they are false in substance and
are voiced by men whom we have
1o1led or are seeking to foil in unlaw-
ful and predatory practices, or by the
credulous and deluded followers of
such men"
To check the speculation in pine
timber on the Choctaw and Chicka-

Denver. Dec. 27.-That Governor Pea
body is supreme in declaring martial
law, and that no court in the country
can interfere with him in the enforce
ment Of the military law. is the claim
set up by Attorney General Miller in

The brief was filed yesteday, and with

NAVAJO BLANKET WEAVERS.
Tribe Has $4,000 People, and Most
Of Them Are Polygarnists.

Navajo blanket weaving was
studied at close range by P. D. Tull
on his recent six months tour to
Arizona for his health, says the
Spokane Spokesman-Review. Mr..
Tull, who is much improved in
health, is back to Spokane with
some fine specimens OF blankets
which he personally picked up while
in the south He said:
These Navajos are one of the
largest tribes in the country, num-
bering over $4,000 Indians. Their
reservation is equally large, and is
situated in northwestern New Mex
leo and northeastern Arizona. Out
side of the reservation proper the
government has granted them an ad-
ditional strip Of forty miles wide,
known as grazing strip The tribe
is self-supporting, and while they
know little Of agriculture. they own
immense herds OF cattle. horses and
sheep. 1t is from the latter that the
women spin the wool and weave the
Blankets and rugs.
The Navajos are rowing tribe
when they settle for any time at one
place thew live in dome-shaped
building called a hogan This is a
form of adobe construction, made
with poles and sticks and covered
with mud. When ON the move they
live in the regulation tepees. Their
nearest neighbors are the Apaches,
with whom, in the old days, they
were often engaged in war. The
Navaios are polygamists, sometimes
having four or five wives. These
they buy, or trade, as they would any
other piece of property. The squaws
do most of the work. They wash,
spin and dye the wool, and weave 1t
ON primitive looms into quaint and
artistic designs. They never use fig
rres Of people, animals or birds, as do
the basket weavers. but their designs
are largely geometrical. Red. black,
orange, white and gray are the pre-
dominating colors.
"While some squaWs may use and
repeat some characteristic design, It
IS a noteworthy fact that 10 two rugs
are ever alike. This is almost IT,
credible, when we consider the hun
dreds Of rugs that have been made
by them.
To say nothing Of the time 1t
takes to wash, dye and spin their
wool, it requires about month OF
steady work to weave a rug four by
sin feet. These are easily recognized
by the smaller patterns and smooth.
close weave. While the NavaJos
have never been christianlzed, it is
fact of interest that the design OF
the cross is seen in much Of their
work. AS types they are fine looking
Indians-strong, tall and we'll fea-
tured, largely due to their life in the
:saddle.'
