Early ia the year 1915, John Stewart,
a free colored mulatto from Virginia,
Was converted at Marietta and Joined
the Methodist Episcopal church. Soon
afterward while praying alone in the
fields one day, he claimed to have heard
q voice from the heavens commanding
him 10 20 IN nOrthwesterly direction.
This he Interpreted 10 he divine calling
for him 10 70 as a missionary 10 the In
iians. and. though ignorant and un-
authorized and unencouraged by the
church. he started out upon his mission.
he travelled alone on foot, and though
he passed through many villages and
encountered many Indian camps, he did
not stop until he arrived at the old In
dian village Of Upper Sandusky, the
chief town of the WyandOts. This he
believed 10 be his destination, and though
regarded with disfavor and treated with
every indignity he stopped and settled
down.
The Wyandot Indians occupied a large
reservation about Upper Sandusky,
which had been an Indian town from
earliest tradition This tribe came origi-
nally FROM Canada, where many Of their
ancestors had been converted to the
Catholic faith by the early French Jesu-
its. They were rather warlike people,
but were possessed of high degree of
intelligence, and to a certain extent fol-
lowed the arts of civilization. For the
first dozen years OF the century two Jes-
nit priests had lived among them at Up
per Sandusky, but they left in 1919; and
when Stewart came, four years later,
not over half a dozen of the savages re-
manned true TO the Catholic faith, the
rest having gone back TO paganism.
Stewart found living among the Indians,
Jonathan Pointer, negro whom he had
known many years before in Virginia,
and after long struggle he was per-
suaded to act as an interpreter to Stew
art, who could not speak work of the
Indian language. Stewart preached his
first sermon 10 one solitary old squaw
and the second one to the same old squaw
and an old crippled brave she had brought
along. His audiences soon increased.
however, and he continued to preach
with great fervor, though the effect of
many sermons was spoiled By his in
terpreter, who was a thorough pagan,
often remarking after the translation of
a sentence: That's what the preacher
SAYS, but don't believe it," etc.
Soon few converts were gained, how
ever, and, start having once been made.
others followed rapidly, Jonathan, the
interpreter, being among them. One Of
the first converts of note was Between
the-Logs, chief of the Bear tribe, who
afterwards became a famous Indian
preacher and was licensed by the Metho-
dist Episcopal church. Mononcue and
other chiefs were also soon converted.
Reports of Stewards great success among
the Indians were soon spread over the
country and made a deep impression
among religious people. 1t was his labors
which inspired call for the memorable
meeting in the Bowery Methodist Epis-
cOpal church in New York city on the
night of April 3. 1919, on which occasion
the Missionary and Bible society Of the
church was OTgauiZed

which he had acquired 800 acres of land
by homestead and tree culture entry.
With others he laid out the town of
Larrimore, and was appointed first
mayor by the legislature when it incor-
porated the town. To this Office he was
reelected three times, and then declined
any further election. In 1884 he was
elected as Democrat TO represent Grand
Forks county in the legislature. being
the only Democrat elected to the Six
teenth assembly. At the close Of the ses-

purposes. Before their departure for the
church in trust, so that it might never
be desecrated.
For time after the Indians left, the
church and graves were kept up, but
they were soon forgotten, and tie roof
decayed and fell in, the walls crumbled,
the relic hunter Clipped the headstones
and carried off the benches, and the
cheap notoriety fend wrote his name all
about.
A year ago, however, the general con-
ference Of the II. L. church determined
to make amends, and appropriated 81 900
to restore the church. Work was begun
early in the present year, and was only
recently finished. The church has been
restored as nearly as possible to its origi-
mai appearance.

OF this occasion was an old woman who

TIE Case of officer Harris.

The circumstances connected with the ar
rest OF 4. f. Brown, the cOlored man who
gave his occupation as assistant librarian
OF the Court Of Appeals" should be further
explained in justice to Policeman Harris.
Mr.. Harris is a good and true man. aud his
statement may be relied on. He says he and
Sergeant Cousins were walking up Brook
avenue each holding tue prisoner by
an arm. Some one IN the rear threw
stone and struck Harris in the
back, and the priso0er was very abusive
and resistiul, especially to Mr.. Harris, who
had arrested him. AS the climax OF much
abuse Brown said TO Mr.. Harris: " II you
let 20 my arm I'll strike you" Acting upon
the Impulse of the moment Mr.. Harris did
drop Browns arm snd said: "Now, strike
me il you dare" Brown did not dare. Mr..
Harris declares this was all that happened
and, while he is not inclined 10 question the
correctness OF the position OF the Common
weslth's Attorney or that Of the Police Jus.
tees decision Diminishing the charge sgsinst
the prisoner, who bad been arrested for dis
orderly conduct, he submits that 1t is not
true that he pu. himself on a level with
Brown by Offering TO fight him.
The courage and forbearance OF the police
are frequently put to severe tests by unruly
negroes and they are often required to SUBJ
NIT 10 words and acts that are very exaspe'
rating. No wonder that they sometimes lose
their temper.
