NEW USE FOR .eBIG 1NJUN."
Three Braves Put to Work Cutting
Topeka Weeds.

Three stalwart Pottawatomies from
the reservation and nine others of va
r1ouS colorS, shapes and sizes will be
placed at work this afternoon cutting
weeds
ugh, ugh,'' grunted the three
brave braves when they were notified
of the fate that awaited them
A scythe for each and a milestone,
brand new whetstones, so that there
might be no excuse of dull scythes
when the guard would order better
job. The whetstones were purchased
this morning by Frank Snyder, street
commissioner.
As far as the weed cutters are con-
cerned there won't be any lack of
authority over them. The street COM
missioner has purchased the tools
with which to cut the weeds, the po-
lice department furnishes the guard
while the work is done under the SUI
pervision of the sanitary police who
have charge of this department from
a sanitary standpoint. What's to
hinder the Indians from doing a good
job? Nothing. They have the TOOLS
the weeds and the authority There
is nothing there to bother except the
amount of physical energy that will
develop from those three original
Americans.
1t Is safe to say that when the three
return to the tribal tents and tell of
the great and grievous wrongs thai
have been heaped upon them in To-
peka that their brethren will give the
capital city wide berth in passing
it by.
The three Indians are out of a
number of five that were picked up
for the usual omplaint-drunk.
