Thumb prints replace witnesses in Spokane treaty payments
In Spokane Washington on June 3 thumb prints of Indians on the Spokane and Colville reservations are used to identify recipients for government treaty payments. Over $1,000,000 sits in the San Francisco subtreasury to Capt John McA Webster who confirms the shift from witness marks to thumb prints. Payments proceed slowly as many Indians work on farms and in orchards while funds cover land taken by the government.
