When it was decided To call the new

a high peaked hat of native manufacture
He became a Catholic in faith, and his
grave is marked by shaft inscribed with

brief word indicating his services to the
whites. This was raised but a few years
since by the citizens of Seattle His name,
as pronounced by the Indians, was
