This came as an odd find on e-bay this evening! Can anyone explain  
what the intent of an "Indian" ticket was and say anything about  
when they were used and in what circumstances. They're new to me,

It will likely be tickets issued at a special rate for "Treaty  
Indians", but don't know how fares were calculated.
