HERO OF CHIPPEWA-S SIOUX BAT
TIE ONCE TILED ST. AN.
! THONY DISTRICT
RETURNS AFTER so YEARS
AND SEES GREAT CHANGES
Isaac Labissoniere, Who Lived Near
Dayton's Bluff, in 1887, Describes
Bloody Conflict Between Indians
Was Born in State Seventy Nine
Years Ago.

How many horses would it require at
the present condition Of the market to
purchase st. Anthony hill? This is the
question an old man asked himself as
he strolled among the mansions of st.
Paurs aristocratic elevation yesterday
and ruminated upon the fact that he
had once driven a hard bargain with
man and palmed the unwatered hill
off on the other for good sound horse,
worth all of SIS or $40.
And 1 felt somewhat conscience
stricken afterward, for it was a good
horse, which was a much better rec
ommendation than I could give along
with my hill said Isaac Labissoniere, 535
Canada street, in discussing old times
In and about st. Paul. "It had no wa
ter on it and Lake Como and Dayton's
bluff land was worth good deal more
in those days. I guess there are hardly
enough horses in the Northwest to buy
the hill now. Still that's only one OF
the changes I find.
you see I feel somewhat like Rip
Van Wrinkle, because have come back
after an absence of nearly half a cen
fury to end my days in strolling around
where once I saw Indian blood run like
water"
Mr.. Labissoniere is real Mime
sotan, as he is a quarter blood Chip
pewa and was born on the soil. He is
seventy-nine years old, having been
born in the northern part of the state,
near the Canadian line, July 7, 1928
His father was a captain in Canadian
regiment during the war Of 1912, hav-
ing attained that position by reason
OF being one Of two men who stepped
from the ranks at the bidding Of the
commanding officer for all those who
could read and write to make the fact
known by stepping forward. Later the
elder Labissoniere settled in Mime
sofa, where he married Chippewa
half blood. After the birth of Isaac
the family moved to st. Boniface, Man.
In the fall of 1887 they came to st. Paul
and took up a claim near the present
site of the fish hatchery, then known as
Pine creek.
Has No Use for Hill.
Labissoniere Sr. was at that time
employed as trapper by the Hudson
Bay company and his wife and son
worked the claim. In 1850 the family
took another claim directly on top of
st. Anthony hill, the trail to which
ran up the present site of Jackson
street, but abandoned this for better
one at Lake Como, which, in 1854, was
sold to the late Henry McKenty, who
was the leading real estate dealer of
st. Paul at that time. The younger
Labissoniere then established a home
stead of his own at Osseo, where he
lived until few weeks ago. He is now
in st. Paul, living with his son-in-law.
IT can get all the pleasure out OF
what years are left to me in walking
around the town and comparing it with
what it was when I lived here BEFORE"
said Mr. Labissoniere, as he made his
way down the Jackson street trail"
yesterday.
Witnesses Fierce Battle.
One of the bloodiest incidents in the
history Of st. Paul occurred under the
very eyes of Labissoniere and he fig
ured in it as it's hero, making his way

OHAGE OPPOSES REPEAL
OF SMOKE ORDINANCE
Assembly Committee Is Not Expected
to Take Proposition
Seriously.

The committee on streets Of the as
sembly will consider a proposition to-
morrow afternoon looking toward the
temporary repeal Of the smoke ordi-
nance. but 1T is not expected that the
matter will be taken up seriously.
Health Commissioner Ohage has
asked that the law be permitted to
stand, as it enables him to keep a tight
hand on those parties that are continu-
ally violating the law.
With few exceptions, he says, the
coal scarcity has made little change in
smoke conditions. Most Of the factories
and mousse heating plants never burned
anything else but soft coal. and to re-
peal the law would simply permit a re-
turn to conditions that he has been
vigorously fighting against for months.

City Engineer Rundlett's scheme to
close one of the stairways on the third
floor in order that he may be given q

sentimental essons, several of the
members are opposed to the step, and

granted. The fourth floor is not over

the stairway should not be closed off.

Threatened by Big Thunder.
II was in the house about o'clock
that evening when ! heard the most
dfabolical yell I ever heard in my life.
1t was enough to cause a persons hair
to stand on end and I guess mine did.
A moment later the cabin door was
pushed open and there stood before US
the quivering form of Big Thunder, the
Sioux chief. His face was distorted
with grief and rage and he held aloft
a long, bloody bowie knife as he
screamed at my mother:
My five sons have been killed. 1t
is your fault. Your blood must pay.
You knew your people were coming
and you did not tell us. My sons are
dead. You killed them I don't know
why he didn't kill her in her tracks.
and I don't know why I didn't slay
him. I never felt like killing a man so
much in my life as I did at that mo-
ment At any rate, he backed out Of
the house and went bowling up the
road.
Feeling sure that we would be MUIR
dered that night I decided to come to
st. Paul for help and I sneaked into
the settlement in the dark. I found the
place in terror, however, as the Sioux
were rushing into the houses and con-
fscating all the guns they could find.
Then they would throw their blankets
down on the ground indicating that
they were ready to fight, and yelling
Chippewa, Chippewa would dash in
pursuit Of the enemy. I went back af-
ter my mother, and with nineteen 9TH
er families, mostly women and chill
dren, went to Raspberry island in ca
noes. AS I was the only person any
where near a mans size I volunteered
to go to Fort Smelling and notify the
troops.
Summons the Soldiers.
II found the way so dangerous, how
ever, that I made my way instead to
Gen. Sibley's house at Mendoza He at
once communicated with the COM
mandant at the fort and the soldiers
came to our relief the next day.
II must tell you of another grew
some feature I saw in that fight. Two
Chippewa braves attained the proud
distinction known among them as
Strong Heart by gouging their enc
mics in such a manner with their
knives that they could scoop a
double handful of blood from their dy-
ing victims bodies and drink il"
