TESUQUE INDIAN
TROUBLE ENDED.
SAYS TWITCHELL
Disturbance May Be Expect
ed to ReCur Until Con-
gress Quiets Title to Land
Bought of Indians.

Santa Fe, Feb. 9.-Threatened
trouble with the Tesuque Indians
has been averted, for the present,
Mt least, it was said this afternoon
by Col. r. u. Twitehell, special
assistant to the United States at
torney general, in charge of In
dian affairs.
The trouble that seemed to be
imminent grew out of the action
Of the Indians in destroying
fences on ranches near the Tesu-
Que village. There is involved the
question Of boundaries and titles
to land sold by the Indians gener-
atfons ago. Colonel Twitchell said
this question might be expected
to recur, near one pueblo or an
other, until the congress passes
an act to settle the question of
titles to land acquired from In
dians.
The Tesuque Indian pueblo is
near the Tesuque village, about
seven miles from Santa Fe. Sc
cundino Romero, United States
marshal and Seferino Baca, under
sheriff of Santa Fe county, went
to Tesuque today and had a con-
ference with the Indians. They
report the situation is we'll in

This was a severe blow to the eX-

Joachim was ever the baby of the

in making them forget their loss.
