WHITE MAN’S
LAWS ‘CRAZY1
TO jNDIANS
ALPINE. Nov. 12.—(>P>—To poor
Lo, the pale faces have always
insisted on living under crazy laws
and customs. So thought a band
of Kickapoo Indians who recently
crossed the Rio Grande at Hot
Springs in the southern extremity
of Brewster county.
They came across from their
homes in the Del Carmen range
jci old Mexico. Their purpose was
i to pay a friendly visit to the
health seekers at Hot Springs and
trade a little with J. O. Langford
who runs a small store at his re
sort.
Deer Plentiful
Deer are plentiful in the Del
Carmen, and it was no troublej
for the Kickapoos to bring with
them some fat deer hams to
trade for tobacco, calico, flour,
cartridges, cigarettes or what
have-you. They reasoned that df»?r
meat was always acceptable re
gardless of season, so they gather
ed up fifteen Juicy hams and
proceeded to cross the river ac
companied by their sqaaws arid
papooses.
The several Mrs. Kickapoos also
carried some trinkets for birte.-.
such as bea~s, pottery and blank
ets. for they too longed to do some
much needed shopping in the
white man's emporium.
Why should an old river stand
as a barrier between folks jcho
wanted to visit and trade a little?
Pale faces like fresh venison. Ind
ians like gee-gaws and dingle-bobs
that the white man sells. To the
Indian its Just plain swapping, but
to the white man it becomes inter
national trade, hedged and hamp

Rangers Spoil Fun
They soon mingled with the
curious health seekers and offered
their meat and multi-colored
wares. The stuff offered was tempt
ing. To an epicure what is finer
than venison steak. Pale feminine
hands itched to possess soAe of
the brJUiant beads and ancient
like pottery. But who dared to
trade, with three formidable, dusty
Texas rangers arriving on the
scene from their camp at Boquil
lias. Taking in the situation the
rangers soon told the Indians in
nver-Spanish that they were in
fringing on international laws and
must go back to their homes or
suffer embarrassing consequences.
Slowly and reluctaxly they re
crcssed the strange river and dis
appeared towards the bright es
carpments of the Del Carmen,
shaking their heads and ponder
ing the foolish customs of the pale
face.
