THE PLACE OF PEACE.
Within Its Precincts No Blood Mus,
Be Shed-An Indian Legend.

Within Its Precincts No Blood Must
Be Shed-An Indian Legend.
Detroit Free Press.
The Indian legends af locality are
always intensely interesting, and
those of the valley of the Hot Springs
and Ozark Mountains are doubly 80.
There are many still extant, some of
which have been preserved in writing
and some have not. There is an APP
propriate one told by an old chief of
the Ozarks which the writer thinks
has never been in print.
1t seems from tradition that the
Valley of the Hot Springs was neu-
trail ground, and this idea was held
sacredly by all the different nations
and tribes that came there with their
sick. The Indian name for the val
ley "Manataka," signified "Place of
Peace" And here, regardless Of war
between them, the members of the
tribes met In friendship and smoked
the pipe of peace. In this quiet val
lev was absolute peace and immunity
from harm. 1t was believed if life
was taken here, even of the smaller
birds and beasts, or if warfare of any
kind was carried on, the Great Spirit
would withdraw his breath from the
waters and they would forever more
be cold and without life and healing.
In this valley OF. peace, during the
times of hostility, the shrill war
whoop never chilled the blood of the
defenseless women and children; the
twang of a bow-string and its missile
on an errand of death was never
heard, and the Ratchet was never
raised in menace or buried in hate in
the brain of an enemy; animals were
tame and fearless; birds sang undis-
turbed, and the squirrel and smaller
beasts disported without fear among
the trees and shrubbesy. This was
then indeed a "place of peace"
