PIPES OF PEACE.
These Aads of Blood Red Stone Nest
EDtoenod by Indiana.

Those Aads OF Blood Red Stone Nest
Estsened by indians.
Nearly every Indian tribe has some
interesting legend connected with the
blood-red stone of the Pipestone quar-
riss Of Minnesota. One tale is that long
ago two fierce bands of Winnebagoes
and Sioux, the bravest of their respec-
tive tribes, met In conflict here They
fought all day, from early morn until
cot Of sun, until the chieftain of one
band was slain. Some Of the warriors
escaped. and some were made captives.
Among the captives was the chieftain's
daughter. Being very brave and fair.
she was chosen by one chief as his
share Of the spoils. Refusing, how
ever, to become his bride, she was
doomed to the stake In dying she
predicted that the Great Spirit would
throw her blood upon the suns rays to
her people far away, and that the stone
under her feet would be forever tinted
with her blood. Catlin, the famed ex-
plorer Of Indian country, was the first
white man to visit this locality. At
tracted by the Indian tales he had
heard in the summer of 1886. in COM
pany with young English gentleman
and his trusty Indian guide, he started
on horseback from St. Anthony's Falls
to explore the region. 1t appears that
the Indian tribes have long held the
place in superstitious estimation. and
also that 1t has been the resort of DIFF
ferent tribes, who have made their
regular pilgrimage there to renew their
pipes. 1t is also evident that these
people set an extraordinary value on
the red stone. Independent of the fact
that 1t is more easily carved and makes
better pipes than any other stone.
Whenever an Indian presents a pipe of
1t, he gives It as something from the
Great Spirit, and some of the tribes
have tradition that the red men were
all created from the red stone and that
1t is thereby a part Of their flesh.
Such was the superstition of the Sioux
on this subject that We had great diff
fculty in approaching 1t, being stopped
by several hundred of them, who or
dered us back and threatened us very
hard, saying that no white man had
ever seen 1t and that none should.
