Abstract

"When the time came for the Indians to send their children to the school at Ft. Simcoe one came from a band on the Yakima river. The acting agent notified Waneta, the chief, the children must be put in school but he refused, although he had been told he must either comply or he would be arrested and put in jail. His band was also harboring a horse thief and would not give him up to the civil authorities. The acting agent called together the Indian police and certain chiefs and set out for the Yakima river to counsel with the Indians and if they would not send their children to arrest the chief and the horse thief."
