According to the facts and theories
of these workers in the earth, more
than 40 of these villages have been I'M
covered within the limits of the Dis

of other village sites have been dis
covered along the river and Chesa-

fined history that number of tribes
were included in the Powhatan con-
federacy when white men first trod
the soil of Virginia, well-nigh 800 years
ago. Until this day the country near
the headwaters of the Potomac and
the northern portion of Chesapeake
bay is happy hunting ground. In
the pristine conditions of 800 years
ago, this must have been a fayorite
hunting ground for the tribes of that
confederacy. The Virginia Historical
society has preserved maps of we'll
known trails which were used by the
Indians in their annual trips to the
Blue Ridge mountains in summer, and

provisions of this enactment the repre-
sentation of Big Horn county in the
lower house is increased from one to
three Before adjournment the Myom-
ing legislature also passed 4 high license
law for the sale of liquors at retail. which
increases the license for this traffic from
SlGO to $500 per annum for plaees five
miles distant from railroad After a
hard fight the legislature also passed an
anti gambling bill, making 1t a nisde-
meanor to conduct any game of chance.
This session of the Wyoming legisla-
ture passes into history as one Of the
hardest working sessions that body ever
held. Senator Thomas was among the
foremost in shouldering the burden and
making the session count in good re
suits for the taxpayers. Big Horn coun-
ty is represented in the upper house by
a cultured gentleman who is fully per
suaded that his district is rapidly forg-
ing to the front and will, before many
days, be one of the leading sections of
the state. In view Of the fact that Mr.
Thomas is not alone in this belief and
that there are many more residents of
that section who represent the best ele-
ment of western civilization, the region
about Meeteetse and Big Horn county
in general seems to have very brilliant
future.

came to a dead halt and up went his

Potter didn't have sign Of weapon in
his hands. Potter first went through
the fellows pockets looking for gun. In
the meanwhile the man was trembling
violently in every Joint, protesting that
he never had a gun and didn't know
what ore looked like. The poor fellow
thought he was in the hands Of high

make the extra. Being satisfied that he
was all right, Potter let him go and he
made his train, but the probabilities are

yet. Later in the evening the sheriff
searched another man who answered the
description of the leader of the trio, but
this fellow had no weapon on his person
and also protested that he did not own
one.

On January IS or 20 Mr. Kane disap-

of this influence 30 that he wields a
poW,r respected. and recognized by both
races and parties in his state by great
national leaders in the councils OF the
Republican party and by the prelate
of the A. III. E. Church.
Mr, Lee was born in Philadelphia,
somewhat about fifty years ago. After
attending the James Forten Grammar
School, of which James M Bird was
princiE al, he entered the Institute for
Colored Youth, under the princi9slship,
OF Hon, E. D, Bassett, and graduated
with the highest hon0rs Of his class in
1850, the first one sent out under the
management of Mrs. Fannie Jackson
COprin. This warm-hearted woman
saw tie sterling worth IN young LIE
who was recognized as her protege. On
graduating, Mr.. Lee entered zee )usly
on educational work near Richmond,
Va. In the fall OF 1870, he entered the
Law Department of Howard University
and supported himself as confidential
clerk in the District Government under
Alexander Shepherd, the master spiIit
of it's Board of Public Works
Three things Mr.. Lee did with all the
energy of his nature while here he en-
ioyed it's social life, ne KEEP up bis

He has served his party as delegate

given him a knoWl edge Of the inne

sbIed him to know at all times what is
going on, and to help his friends.
But Mr.. Lee has a caIeer in the
church, which is second only to that
which he Yields as politician because 1T
may be less widely known. At the
early age OF ten, he made q public con-
fession of Christianity in Bethel A. NJ,
E. Church, Philadelphia, during re-
viv~ L conducted by the Late Bishop Ja-
beZ 2. Campbell. Entering actively on
church work on taking up his residence
in Florida, ne became a local minister
and then we hear of him as the minister
in charge OF the Jacksonville Church in
1882. He was one of the organizers OF
the Florida Divinity and High School,
near the Edward Waters College. In
1880, he was elected member Of the
Financial Board and held that office
for several years. He has also been q
member of several General Conferences.
In 1874. Mr.. Lee married Miss Rosa

his student life, he should have been
careful in his savings and have accumb'
lated competency. Those who enjoy
his confidence, saythat his Investments
were all carefully made; but the Jack
