OSCEOLA,
of the Famous Chief of the
Seminole Indians.

"Reminiscences of the Famous Chief of the
Seminole Indians.
William Kendrick, of this city, is sixty.
two years of age, was born and raised in
Florida. His birthplace was on the
Suwanee river, within a mile of where
the great Indian chief Osceola was born
and lived. He contends that the great
chief whipped for years the United
States government in every battle he
fought during the Florida Indian war.
He regards Osceola as the equal, if not
the superior, of Napoleon, or any of the
great generals of his day, in strategy
and proves.
He was half-breed. His father was
a man from Georgia by the name OF
Powell. The great chief was known by
the name of Powell until the day of the
meeting at Fort King for the purpose of
signing the treaty with Thompson, the
United States commissioner, to transact
their lands and move to Indian territory.
When the great chief, or king of the tribe
had signed the treaty, followed by all
the subjects, Powell was asked to affix his
name, as he was regarded as sub-chief,
or an Indian Of distinction, for his PROV
ess in the hunt, as well as mis- bravery
and influence with the tribe and his fine
personal appearance. When called by
the commissioner Powell stepped for
ward took the pen, threw it to the
ground, drew his hunting knife and
plunged it into the heart of the great
chief of the nation, and then, turning in
the twinkling of an eye, buried it in the
heart of the United States commissioner.
The sub-chiefs were as greatly sur
prised at Osceola's act as were the Uni
ted States authorities present. Powell
had taken the precaution to have in
striking distance several hundred of the
bravest warriors of the tribe, who upon a
signal, made their appearance, and as he
walked out of the tent In which the
treaty was being signed be mutt lated it
with the same knife that he had taken
the lives of the two principal actors in
projecting the treaty. His braves met
him and subsequently, declared him o.
ceola, the great chief OF the Seminolee.

Chicago News.
The thriving business of Antonio Lee
ganio was seriously crippled all yester-
day afternoon by boycott declared
against him at II o'clock sharp. Mr..
Leganio is one of the most extensive re-
tail dealers in peanuts, bananas and
oranges in the city, and his place OF
business is situated on the southeast cor
ner of Washington street and Fifth ave-
nue.. The trouble which has temporarily
estranged Mr.. Leganio and bis custom
ers, who are none other than the odd
hundred youngsters who peddle the af-
ternoon papers, was precipitated by an
act OF Incorporate violence on his part,
and too great familiarity on the part OF
a youthful patron, popularity known as
Jimmy, der Goat"
At II o'clock yesterday morning jim
my appropriated two apples and ba-
mana, and when asked to iquidate re-
piled that he was temporarily embar-
raised, but would resume payment after
the noon editions had appeared. This
was unsatisfactory to the merchant, who
promptly clutched the representative
Of labor and compelled him to dis
gorge.
$50 on, yer cowardly Italyun. I'll
have yer boycotted for dis. Yer no
good"
"You paya da mon you getta da
banan," responded the merchant, lacon-
ically.
Jimmy soon gathered an interesting
group about him in the alley near by.
"Dat Italyun amt no good" he ex-
claimed. 1.-THE only thing us fellers
kin do is ter boycott i'm"
All the boys shouted at this, but
some of the little ones didn't understand
what boycotting meant.
"Well, yer jes' 60 an spend all der
money wild der other dago on der odder
corner. Den you trows der peelin's on
der sidewalk in front of der dago we's
bovcottin'. Pretty soon he'll be glad to
sell two apples for cent an tree bananas
fur MCKEE"
A burst of applause followed this
speech, and the boycott was declared in
force. Hundreds of little boys who came
later joined the boycotters, and saved
out pennies to spend with the rival
italian on the southwest corner.
"Yer got ter spend all der money yer
can, SOS ter make der boycott hurt der
odder dago He'll be mad when he sees
all der kids blowin' in der money wilder
Teller cross der street."
All the afternoon Jimmy escorted
youngsters over to the rival peanut
stand, while Antonio Leganio sat on the
top of an orange box and showed no
signs of giving in. The enterprising
Jimmy fairly reveled in peanuts, apples
and bananas, which other little boys
bought to help make the boycott effec-
tive. He even neglected to take out any
papers, 30 busy was he showing his con-
st1tuents where to buy their peanuts and
fruits. AS for the Italian ON the south
west corner, he was nearly beside him
self with Joy. Occasionally he waved
his hands at Antonio Leganio, who was
still sitting On the orange box watching
the volume Of trade rush past him. But
Antonio Leganio, the boycotted mer-
chant, showed no signs Of giving in. He
smoked cigarettes and dozed, and only
showed other signs of life when Jimmy
approached too near with group of
followers and yelled 'sRats, yer dago."
Internal dissension come near break
ing the boycott at 4 o'clock.

Of the boycott - the appeasement Of

persisted the freckle-faced youngster.

torted Jimmy, hotly. "Where'd yer

This caused sensation and profound
alarm in the ranks of the boycotters.
They pleaded with Jimmy in body,
and he was obdurate until the freckle-
faced boy apologized and ''set up" the
peanuts.

Antonio Leganio was still placidly
smoking and sitting on the box.
"You haven't had much trade to-day,
have you?" he was asked. ''You seem
to have been boycotted."

"But the fellow opposite did big
