apply to me
as County Judge to bond and apprentice the said boy "Smoky" to
him according to law to learn the art of household duties about
his premises and in this respect to hold the relation of an
apprentice until he shall arrive at the lawful majority, the age
of twenty-five years, or for the term of seventeen years next
following this indenture, the boy being now considered eight
years of age. And whereas it appears to me that the second party
in this agreement has obtained this boy in a lawful manner
without fraud or oppression and that the boy "Smoky" therefore
comes justly under the first provision of the law providing for
apprenticeship approved April, 8th A.D. 1860.

Now therefore I, A. J. Houstis, County Judge Aforesaid, in
consideration of the premises and acting for and on behalf of the
said Indian boy "Smoky" do by these presents bind and apprentice
as above stated the said boy "Smoky" to Austin Wiley for and
during the term of seventeen years next following this indenture
entitling him according to law to have the care custody, control
and earnings of said boy during said period and all other
advantages and responsibilities growing out of this indenture and
apprenticeship, that the law contemplates. And the said Austin
Wiley, the second part in his agreement doth hereby agree,
obligate and bind himself that he will truly and faithfully
discharge all obligations on his part growing out of this
indenture according to law. That he will suitably clothe and
provide the necessaries of life for the said boy during his term
of indenture. That he will in all respects treat him in a human
manner. That he will not take him out of this state nor transfer
him to any party not known in this agreement without the consent
of legal authorities endorsed thereon and that in all respects
she will carry out every provision of law that contemplates the
safety, protection and well being of said boy.

In witness whereof the parties of this indenture hereunto set
their hand and seal this date first above written.
