While busy with the appropriation
of 5000 for the erection of a 5000
tombstone over the grave of the only
Indian governor the territory of Kan
sas ever had-William Walker, chief
Of the WyandOtte tribe whose ashes
now rest in a Kansas City graveyard
the senate his morning was INDUCED
in an exhibition of familiarity with
Indian lore for which it wasn't look
ing.
Senator Ike Kinds of Labette coun-
ty said the senate was discriminating.
He proved it by naming ixteen other
Indian whose prominence in early
Kansas politics entitled them to recog-
milton and volunteered his Willingness
to introduce their biographies to sup
port his argument. He was followed
on the floor by Senator King of Cow
ley county who addressed the senate
in the native tongue of the Usage ma
ton with whose tribesmen he has been
doing business since he moved to Kan
sas sixty years ago.
The senate finally approved the
Walker monument bill to the extent
that 1t increased the committee recon-
mendation from 500 to 5000 provided
Secretary William f. Connelley of the
state Historical society could find the
grave and write the inscription for
the stone.
