Devils Lake Traditions.

fangago, the Tippewas. came from
the north and pitched their tepees on
the north shore of the lake They had
reason to believe that the Sioux we're
encamped on the southern shore, and
they planned to cross to the south be-
fore daylight and surprise their tradi-
tional enemies. The Sioux had a
similar thought and design, and each
tribe proceeded to exterminate the
other.
They met in about the middle of the
lake and fought, and all were lost.
The time is not fixed except that the
incident marks Al epoch in the history
of both tribes
The Chippewas came in canoes from
the north as before. This was in 1867.
The Chippewa warriors were all slain
but one man, who returned badly
wounded and riddled. The fatalities
connected with the lake and the ap-
partitions gave rise to the name Min
newaukan, or spirit water. mysterious
water, fated water, and finally Devils
Lake, as the only English equivalent
Tor the Indians idea as expressed in
Minnewaukan.
The Chippewas came here in canoes.
The Sioux also used canoes With
but few portages the former could
easily at that time, while the lake was
so far above its present level, come from
Lake Superior to Devils Lake. Since
the fatalities related. those Indians have

people are getting over the dread, but
old Indians will wade to their waist

EscANABA, Mich, Dec. 2S--At noon
when people were returning to their work,
Mrs. Theodore Tedle, wife of dry goods
clerk, publicly horsewhipped ex-Mayor
Peter Nj. Peterson on the principal thor
ongnfare IN the presence OF hundred or
more curious spectators, the woman
claiming to have been grossly insulted
on previous occasion by her victim.
Mrs. Tedie stationed herself one block
from Mr., Peterson's furniture store, and
when he approached she produced
horsewhlp and commenced flashing hnn
furiously. Mr.. Petersen whipped out
revolver, evidently with the hope of
frightening his assailant away, but this
only still further infurlated the woman
and she LAID on the whip with renewed
ylgor following her victim to his store

rests will undoubtedly follow. The wo-
mans husband was an eye witness to the
affair but took no part.

UNEARTHEO ANCIENT RELICS,
Bones and Weapons of Mound builders
Disinterred in Kentucky.

While digging well near Sand
Spring, XIV, recently, number of hui
man bones were disinterrcd, together
with quantity of weapons, spear
heads, arrows and axes of copper, OBJ
sidiau and very good brass, the axes
especially showing very fair Workman
ship. The bones all belonged to male
skeletons, with the exception Of one of
the best preserved, which was that of
woman, about whose skull was
bound q crown or sort of diadem of
silver, set with an opal cut with skill,
and of extraordinary size and luster.
From the appearance of these remains.
says the Philadelphia Times, it is prob
able that this was an ancient battle
ground on which the slain were buried
as they fell. Local arch9ologists, who
have examined the skulls. declare that
they are not those of Indians, but of a
people of superior intelligence. Some
of the skeletons are feet in he;EAt,
one measuring feet 4 inches.
This latter's breast bone is shattered
by copper knife which was still stick
ing in the severed bone. The presence
of the woman's remains is not TO be
accounted for, except that she may
have been the queen of the tribe and
in person led her host TO battle, shar-
ing their lot and being Inferred with
them. Among the relics is a lamp
provided with 4 wick which has hard
ened almost to stone, and on the BODY
OF which runs curious inscription cut
into the brass. The lettering resem-
bles that of Egyptian monuments.
There is also an engraving on it of an
insect strangely like the scarabei Of
that country. Another reminder of
ancient history is found in the fact
that one of the skeletons has seized an
other by the heel and his teeth are
still to be seen fixed in it, crunching
the bone in his grasp. That these
people were identical with the mound
builders is more than probable, for it
is known that that vanished race was
particularly numerous ahout hara

There is in Brazil a very common
poisonous snake, the Surucucu, re
specting which the inhabitants relate
the following facts: They say that
such is the antipathy of this reptile to
fire, that when fires are made in the
clearing away of woods they rush in
to it, scattering it with their tails till
it is extinguished, even becoming half
roasted in the attempt; and that when
an individual is passing at night
with torch, they pass and repass him,
lashing him with their tails till he
drops it. and the snake is Immediate
ly found closely coiled round the ex-
tinguished torch. The greatest enemy
of this snake is an immense lizard,
five or six feet long: it is said that
when the snake succeeds in effecting
a bite, the lizard rushes into the woods.
