Eight Indians, representing the scant
20,000 that remain of the race in
California were en route to Washing

000 in goods, including needles and
thimbles, promised for cession of
other lands to the Government, has

The purported treaties were found
recently by a rtli-gious worker in the
Indian fields after they had been lost
for years.
