The conclusions of those who have
to the old fort and village are very
interesting. They think that while
the Kickapoos and their affiliated al
lies occupied the country between
the Illinois and the Wabash rivers,
the village and the old fort marked
the great central capital, and that
probably about 1852, not many years
after the French had fortified Fort
Charities, the Indians attempted to
fortify the place as an outpost de-
Tense for their large village.
1t is further thought that near the
old fort, or before any fort existed,
the Indians met and were conquered
by the French in 1882.
1t is further believed that the fort
was occasionally used by the Indi-
ans in war with the various tribes,
and that it was occupied as defense
against the Americans in 1871, in
1911 and 1912, and that after the bat
tie of Tippecanoe the Indians in
tended to make another stand here,
and that at a late date, when the
troops appeared, the force of the
redskins was so small that no de-
Tense was attempted, and they fled
north and west. A half breed living
when the first white settler came to
Mclean county stated that his an
cestors called the site of the village
HEtnofoalyD
The Indians occupying the terri
tory between the Illinois and the
Wabash rivers constituted what was
known as the prairie portion of the
Kickapoo Indians. The natural buff
falo hunting ground is thought to
have been along the line north and
south, known as Grand Prairie"
but a few miles distant.
Old Town, as the vicinity of the
fort is now called, was apparently
the center of a great hunting dis
trict, and the tribes from the south
may have frequently invaded it in
search of game. This naturally
would result in clashes and perhaps
numerous battles were fought. Vast
quantities of arrow heads, spear
points, and other relics of the In
dams are found in the vicinity, and
excavations might develop many
archaeological treasures.

INTERESTING TO HISTORIANS.
ton, ILL.,, and Its Archaeological
Treasures.

The general interest that is being
displayed in archaeological subjects
of late has revived the subject of the
old Indian fort which exists in this
county. The Mclean County His
torical society, which has won great
credit for the efforts of it's members
to compile in imperishable form the
history of this vicinity, has turned
it's attention toward this old fort,
and many interesting facts are be-
ing brought out, says a Blooming
ton CHI special to the Chicago In
ter Ocean.
1t has been learned that the fort
of the Kickapoo tribe. The Indians
found in this county by the first
white settlers knew but little about
the fort and village. But this is not
strange, considering their nomadic
character. These Indians, however,
asserted that the fort had been used
by their ancestors in the war of 1912.
The tract of land upon which the
fort was built was bought from the
United States government Septem-
Der 20, 1885, by Absalom Funk, and is
yet owned by the famous Funk fam
lily. The early maps of Illinois gem
orally agree in locating at this point
a "Kickapoo town" or Indian village,
and there is good evidence that at
this point was located the great cap
ital of the Indians of central Illinois
for a long period of time.
The village is located about Is
miles east of Bloomington, is on
high ground, commanding an extern
sive view of the prairie to all points
of the compass, and there is no more
elevated section in central Illinois.
1t would have been difficult to find
a more picturesque location before
the prairies were settled, and when
the distant groves and timber
fringes along the streams were less
dense than at present.
The site commanded a view of the
country in every Erection for Is
miles, and was wisely chosen as a
point of observation.

For every normal person wants to live as

a sound mind in a sound body.
To begin with it is cold statistical fact
that the race is growing stronger and that

people in this country who have attained
the age of 90. There are many who have
achieved hundred One million and half
