An Indian Story.

A correspondent OF the Detroit Free Press
writes as follows:
About three miles from the village of
Wabash State of Michigan, is small lake
now commonly known as Wabassas Lake.
1t is haadsome sheet Of water, with fne
| shore free from swamps OF brush, affcrding
a pleasant resort to the lovers CT piscatoria
sports. There is romantic yet truthful
history connected With it which sounds
more like an Indian tradition of centuries
ago, than an actual occurrence OF fifty years
since. While GA an excursion q few DAYS
ago, gathered the following story, and its
truthlulness has since been vouched for by
other settlers 4 little tribe Of indians
was then encanped on the shore Of the lake
near its outlet, stream of the same name,
and had just been paid by the government
quite large amount cf gold and silver
which they took to their camp, as was their
custom, undoubtedly, held in their charge
by Chief "Wabass2" On arriving at theiI
camp aud spreading their gaily covered
blankets out admiringly, together with their
trinkets purchased at the station, some of
the tribe warmed more or less with the
"fire water" demanded their portion of the
gold. Disputes arose as to the relative share
of each. Some claimed more than g share,
claimed to have contributed more to the
protection or general good, glory or dignity
Of the tribe. High words were about to
be followed by bloodshed, when the chiet
demanded silence, aud proposed them to
wait till the morrow should cool their ezcit-
ed brains, aud could listen to reason and
words Of counsel from the older men A
truce was finally effected, and quite once
more reigned throughout the camp, when
the Chief. regarding the gold as cause of
evil Instead OF blessing, stole quietly out
carried the gold with him, and entered a
canoe, padded quickly and noislessly to the
centre of the lake, where he consigned pot
and gold to the deep waters Of the lake
In the morning he did not deny what he
had done, but was in the midst of speech,
telling them of their folly in being like
palefaces, slaves to gold, VIXEN, with loud
whoop, the entire band set upon him, mur-
dered him, and mutilated his body in a
horrible manner. His grave is still shown
and many have sPeen his son return within
the last twenty years, to mourn over it,
Greedy hands have often sought for lost
gold, but to no purpose, for tie waters are
many hundreds of feet in depth, strange as
it may seem, for so small lake-a mere
pond. But the story OF the SPOT of Gold
in Wabassa's Lake"
