lands for the Indians, i'lieyoune o-en |
do net want tlm money appropi mted
now. but if it is. they propose to have
the handling of it themselves. 1 tom
now on they will run the affairs of the
tribes and will soud a minister to
Washington at i salary of •? i, tHIU a year
i o h)ok after their interests there.
Judge Pitzer president of the Oklahoma
council, being a lawyer, will probably
get the place. The young men now in
control are all educated and it is their
policy to introduce civilized nays
among their people. They are now
preparing a system of local govern-
ment of their own altogethei different
from the old tribal system.
A dispatch from Wichita to the
St, Louis Globe-Democrat says: "Pres-
dent Cleveland will be called upon in a
few days to decide the fate of Rose
Whiteface. one of the prettiest young
girls in the Arapahoe tribe of Indians.
Rosa is now a pupil in the Caddo In-
dian school and has been sold by her
father to her sister’s husband to be
made one of his wives, the considera-
tion being fifteen ponies. Being an en-
lightened girl, she does not want to
embrace polygamy, and she went to
Professor Montgonery, of the Caddo
Indian school, for protection, and he in
turn appealed to friends in El Reno,
with the result that a subscription is
being taken up to pay her expenses to
Washington to appeal to the president
in person. Captain Woodson the local
Indian agent, could prevent the sale,
hut only on condition that she sever
the tribal connection and thus lose her
Valuable allowance. The Indian to
whom she is sold is Cl years old, while
she is only 17. Colonel Montgomery
Bryant, retired, late commandant of
Fort Sill, said today that polygamy
still exists iu the Arapahoe tribe and
that the sale of girls for ponies and
heads is still common.”
