Of the sachem, In an interview for the

haps the most powerful, being able
to put no less than 500 fighting men in
the field, but our tribe. the Un-ca-
cheques. were likewise warlike and
possessed OF riches both in lands and
seawan - that is, Indian money 49, the
wampum. or white. and pague. or the
black, currency Of the tribes. The for.
mer was made from the stock or stem

are to be found about here, and the
latter cut from the purple heart of the

and OF course. it was the object of re

most powerful of island tribes.
More than eighty years Of age. for
half century this patriarch was the
guide, philosopher and friend of the
little handful of tribal survivors Of the
primal Un-ca-chogue stock In all
matters OF boundary disputes, social
usages. religion and politics, Chief
Ward was the supreme judge.
Although not able himself TO read. ii
was he who urged upon the authorities
the necessity OF supplying the reser-
walton with a suitable school house
and a competent white man teacher.
II was he who built the church and
Insisted that every man, woman and
child OF the reservation. numbering
about 100 souls, attend with becoming
regularity.
Chief Wards successor is to be cho-
sen by popular vote of the remnants
Of the once powerful tribe. They will
meet on the second Sunday OF June

system has nov been made i'm the
