dian Warriors.
When NO think OF the Indians, we arc
mt to remember. only the harsh and
cruel traits that they have shown; but
in their stories and legends many.
noble qualities are hidden under their
cruelty, like pearls In the uneouth shell
OF tho oyster.
In ons of these legends we ara told
chat thers used TO be greet Inanywiz-
nrds among Tho tribes. OF sachenas, as
the Indiana called them, who were ooun-
ReIors IN ths camp, but whose ehiot do
liqht wea In doing evil T'hsJ worked
10 much mischief In ths hnndng
grounds thai ak lAst the Great Spirit
locked them In the hollow trees that
grew along the trail
Soma Of them, In their strueglea 70 es-
cape, thrust their arms out Of tho trees,
but the closing wood Imprisoned them,
and they nnay be seen to this day, twist
ed md distorted IN agony, as gnArled
roots and Withered trunks and
branches.
Others survived this tarrIhle trans
sorlnaton, and among them was Oqua-
rah, BENT, decrepit, aged sachem. cruel
/ and evil minded, and Jealous lest hla
