or one of his deputies; and by the superintendent,
or other person appointed by the President, to the
chiefs of the said tribes. And it shall be the
duty of the said chiefs, upon complaint being made,
as aforesaid, to deliver up the person, or persons,
against whom the complaint is made, to the end that
he, or they, may be punished agreeably to the laws
of the state or territory where the offence may have
been committed. And, in like manner, if any robbery,
violence or murder shall be committed on any Indian,
or Indians, belonging to the said tribes, or either
of them, the person or persons so offending, shall
be tried, and if found guilty, punished, in like manner
as if the injury had been done to a white man.
And it is further agreed, that the chiefs of the said
tribes shall, to the utmost of their power, exert
themselves to recover horses, or other property which
may be stolen from any citizen or citizens of the
United States by any individual or individuals of
their tribes. And the property so recovered,
shall be forthwith delivered to the superintendent,
or other person authorized to receive it, that it
may be restored to the proper owner. And in cases
where the exertions of the chiefs shall be ineffectual
in recovering the property stolen, as aforesaid, if
sufficient proof can be obtained, that such property
was actually stolen by any Indian, or Indians, belonging
to the said tribes or either of them, the United States
may deduct from the annuity of the said tribes, a
sum equal to the value of the property which was stolen.
And the United States hereby guaranty to any Indian
or Indians, of the said tribes, a full indemnification
for any horses, or other property, which may be stolen
from them, by any of their citizens:
Provided,
that the property so stolen cannot be recovered, and
that sufficient proof is produced that it was actually
stolen by a citizen of the United States.
Art. 6. If any citizen of the United States,
or any other white person, should form a settlement,
upon the lands which are the property of the Sac and
Fox tribes, upon complaint being made thereof, to the
Superintendent, or other person having charge of the
affairs of the Indians, such intruder shall forthwith
be removed.
Art. 7. As long as the lands which are now ceded
to the United States remain their property, the Indians
belonging to the said tribes shall enjoy the privilege
of living and hunting upon them.
Art. 8. As the laws of the United States regulating
trade and intercourse with the Indian tribes, are
already extended to the country inhabited by the Sacs
and Foxes, and as it is provided by those laws, that
no person shall reside, as a trader, in the Indian
country, without a licence under the hand and seal
of the Superintendent of Indian affairs, or other
person appointed for the purpose by the President,
the said tribes do promise and agree, that they will
not suffer any trader to reside among them, without
such licence, and that they will, from time to time,
give notice to the Superintendent, or to the agent
for their tribes, of all the traders that may be in
their country.
