King or Chief Dayolheasala, chief
and medicine man of the MOhawkS,
has come and gone, and with him has
gone many a good dollar Of the IN
sophisticated Grand Rapids folk. He
| was royal fakir in more senses Of the
word than enc. As he stood bare
headed in the torch light at the
| corner Of Center and River streets
Friday night, surrounded by crowd
OF curious spectators, his semi-medlcal
harangue resounding along the streets,
one could easily imagine him royal
| parsonage among his own people.
\ ct there is not such a great difference
between King Dayolheasala and other
| royal personalities. He is the tradi-
tlonal chief, war lord, medicine man
and ruler of his people, functions that
he possesses in common with other
kings and queens. They are ali fakirs
and work the people for every dollar
which their gullability is susceptible
of. Why sheer at the Mohawk chief?
