 by the Washita from the niuety-eightli meridian up to a point 30 miles 

 by river from Fort Cobb, and thence by a line due west to the North 

 fork. All withiiL these bounds is solemnly "set apart for the undisturbed 

 use and occupation of tlie tribes herein named, and for such other 

 friendly tribes or individual Indians as from time to time they may 

 be willing, with the consent of the United States, to admit among them ; 

 and the Ignited States now solemnly agrees that no ])ersous except 

 those herein authorized so to do, and except such ofticers, agents, and 

 employes of the government as may be authorized to enter upon [the] 

 Indian reservation in discharge of duties enjoined by law, shall ever 

 be permitted to pass over, settle upon, or reside in the territory de- 

 scribed in this article, or in such territory as may be added to this 

 I'eservation, for the use of said Indians." 



By article 10 all obligations incurred by the United States under 

 previous treaties are canceled, and instead the government agrees to 

 deliver at the agency, "ou the 15th day of October of each year, for 

 thirty years," the efjuivalent of a full suit of clothing for each Indian 

 man, woman, and child, for which purpose the agent is to make an 

 annual census of the tribes; "and in addition to the clothing herein 

 named, the sum of twenty-five thousand dollars shall be annually ai)pro- 

 ])riated for a period of thirty years" for the.judicious purchase of such 

 articles as may seem proper to the condition and necessities of the 

 Indians. Provision is made for the expenditure of a portion of the 

 clothing fund in other ways for the benefit of the Indians, whenever, 

 within the period of thirty years, it might seem advisable, "but in no 

 event shall the amount of this approjmation be withdrawn or discon- 

 tinued for the period named." All annuity issues were to be made iu 

 the inesence of an army officer detailed for tlie purpose, who should 

 inspect and reiiort on the quantity and ([uality of the goods and the 

 manner of their delivery. 



Provision is also made for establishing a sufficient number of schools 

 to continue for a period of not less than twenty years. The Indians 

 agree to surrender all claims to lands outside the reservation as estab- 

 lished in article U, retaining, however, some temporary hunting privi- 

 leges south of the Arkansas. Several minor details are specified, and 

 by article 12 it is stipulated that no treaty for the sale of any portion 

 of the reservation thus agreed upon shall have force or validity "unless 

 executed and signet! by at least three-fourths of all the adult male 

 Indians occupying the same."
