on the subject. She said the records
showed that the United States had
broken faith with the Indians one thous
and times, after making treaties and
agreements with them, that the white
man is at the bottom of nine-tenths of
the Indian troubles; that now the United
States is gradually driving the Indian
from tillable land to grazing, from
grazing to barren, barren to desert, and
soon he will have nothing.
While in the city Mrs. Alter has been
the guest of Mr. and Mrs'. J. C. Christy.
