leone n victim to the winged monster,
at whom all the others were to let
| fly their arrows the moment the bird
fastened on its prey.
when Outaga awoke he gave
thanks to the Great Spirit: he then
went back to his tribe, related his
dream, and the 20 warriors were
forthwith chosen, armed, and placed
in ambush, Outaga himself offering to
become the victim and so perish for
the rest of his tribe. From the ris-
ing ground where he stood the brave
Indian beheld the Piusa perched on
his rock. He drew himself up with
majestic bearing, planting his feet
firmly on the soil; and laying his
right hand upon his calm and I'M
moved heart, he lifted up his voice
and began the death chant of the
warrior. The monster spread out his
wings, and quick as lightning fell
upon the Indian chief. But every
bow was ready strained, every war
rior let his arrow fly, and each ar
row pierced through the body of the
Piusa who sank and expired at the
feet of Ontaga with a savage and
terrific shrek. The Great Spirit
rewarded the sacrifice of the gener-
Gus chief by suspending over his head
an invisible shield which preserved
him from being hurt by his friends
arrows, or by the talons of the bird"
In remembrance of this event the
image of the Piusa was carved on
the rock, and no Indian ever goes
past this place in his canoe without
aiming a shot at the monsters eff
figy. The rifles have left innumer-
abe marks on the stone, and the
whole fable seems to borrow an air
of truth from the fact that all the
natural caverns in the surrounding
hills are filed with bones of thous-
ands of human beings.
The celebrated Methodist preacher,
Peter Cartright, ID. d., who labored
for more than sixty years chiefly in
the Mississippi valley, leaves this
in his autobiography published in
1856, in describing his first visit to
Rock Island mission, which cor
roborates the truth of the above:
Here on the north side of Rock
river, on the rising ground from the
Mississippi bottom, stands the site
of one of the oldest towns in the
north or northwest. 1t is a beauti-
full site for a city. There are to be
seen lying, bleached and bleaching,
the bones of unnumbered thousands
of this poor, wild and roaming race
of human beings. 1t was the center
of the vast and powerful, unbroken,
warlike tribes of the northwest. This
particular spot was claimed by the
notorious Black Hawk and his tribe.
If they had been civilized, and had
known the real arts of war, it would
have been utterly impossible for the
Americans to have vanquished and
subdued them as they have done.
When / looked at the fields in culti-
vation by the whites, where the
ground had been for ages the country
of the Indians, spirit of sorrow
came over me. But they are wasted
away and gone to their home. l saw
a scattered few that were crowded
back by the unconquerable march of
the white man. ID. G. 9.

in every way possible to make this

Their product is certainly one de-

| Baseball Notes.
The Bloomington Bulletin is boast
ing that the team from that city has
not lost Sunday game this season.
The last series in this city appears to
have been overlooked.
Hugh Nichol, the Rockford mana
ger, has disappeared and the papers
about the league. are not more mysti-
fled as to his whereabouts than the
members of his own team. Ten to
one he will turn up one of these DAYS
with a string of promising new play
| ers.
The Terre Haute team has thrown
| away their stick candy stockings
under the impression that they are
the hoodoo. Rock Island ought to
throw away the Variegated cap
under the impression that il is worse
than hoodoo.
Decatur Review: If Gus Dorner
had done nothing else the three l to
0 games he has pitched this season
make a remarkable record. True,
Gus has lost them all but his work
in each endears him to every Decatur
fan. Here is Il record of but three
runs scored in rty-three-innings-
one hard to beat.
The batting averages of the Rock
fords are always interesting, as they
are considered the sluggers of the
league, but the figures would indi-
cate that as sluggers they are more
or less counterfeit. Stark. the Mich
igan catcher. leads the list with an
average of .533 in five games. Lippert
has 1866. Then comes the bunch, led
by Buelow with .276. Thiery .275,
Hines, .267. Kruger, 271. These are
not heavy figures; they indicate that
the hitting is more timely or lucky
that wins for Rockford than any
thing else.
Snapper Kennedy's home run at
Cedar Rapids off Luckenbill last
week was the longest hit on the
Rabbit grounds since 1895. accord

theatre of the carnival grounds adj

MELONS ARE INJURED
Wet Weather and Heat Disastrous
to Crop at Pleasant
Valley.
YIELD WILL BE GREATLY REDUCED
Better Grade of the Fruit in Local
Market VIII he
Scarce.

Here is sad news for the water
melon lover. The fields in Pleasant
Valley, the watermelon Garden of
Eden east of Moline, will not bring
forth half or one-fourth of a crop
this year. The water has drowned
out even the watermelons.
Pleasant Valley supplies practical
| ly the entire local trade and the mel
ons which grow there are of a va
riety not to be obtained among
| those shipped in from Muscatine and
other points. They are too tender
and fragile for shipment and the
home consumption takes care of
them.
Vines Are Killed.
Reports from growers in the val
ley say that the prospects for crop
are the poorest this year that they
have been in years. There is moth
ing TO hope for, they say. The floods
of the spring and summer have fur
nished too much water for even such
watery fruit and they are ruined.
Those which were not drowned have
been scalded by he hot sun which
in many cases followed the rains.
This unfortunate state of affairs
will be mourned by all true and patri-
otto residents of the twin cities for
for days over the prospect of near
approach of the. melon season. Now
there will be vast disappointment.

''Many thousand moons before the
arrival of the white men, Nanabush,
the benevolent intereessor for man
kind, destroyed the great Mammoth
or Mastodon, the bones of which are
still to be found in many parts of
America. At that time there was a
bird of such prodigious strength and
size that he could easily carry away
a stag in his talons. This bird, hav-
ing once tasted human flesh, from
that time forward would eat no other
food. He was as cunning as he was
strong; he used to make a sudden
dart at an Indian, carry him away to
one of his caves in the rock, and
there devour him at leisure. Hun
dreds of warriors had been unsuc-
cessful in their attempts to destroy
him. Entire villages were thus laid
waste by him, and terror was spread
among the tribes of Illinois. At
length Outaga, a warrior chief,
whose renown extended far beyond
the Great Lakes, withdrew from the
rest of his tribe, spent a whole month
in fasting and solitude, and prayed to
to the Great Spirit to deliver his
children from the fangs of Piusa.
During the last night the Great
Spirit appeared to him in dream,
and commanded him to select 20 war
riors, and to hide them in place
which he pointed out TO him, each
man being armed with bow and
a poisoned arrow. One warrior alone
was to show himself openly and be-

PRETTY INDIAN LEGEND
RECALLED BY NEWS ITEM

Rock Island, July 2S.-Editor of
The Argus: In the issue of your pa
per of July 20 there is a communica-
ton from Alton, ILL.,, with the follow
the heading, "Who Got the Paint
ings?"
The writer states that two of the
most distinct Indian paintings on the
high bluff at Hulrs Hollow, which
have been standing the weathering
process for many years. have been
carved from the face of the bluff and
carried away. The paintings remov-
ed represented an owl and an animal,
supposed to have been either wolf
or dog"
The few relics which are left of the
departed race are most valuable. and
everyone must deeply regret such an
act of vandalism. There is an Indian
legend which seems to be a distorted
"Reminiscences of the redemption seal
ed upon Calvary. Can it be that there
is any connection between this paint
ing which has been removed and the
legend which was recorded by the
Able 'em Domenech, a missionary to
the Indians many, many years ago?
The historian says: Ascending the
Mississippi, a little above St. Louis,
between Alton and the Illinois river,
there is a narrow pass confined be-
tween two high hills, at the bottom
of which runs the Piusa, rivulet
which flows into the river. At this
place is smooth, perpendicular
rock. upon which, at two or three
yards height, an immense image of
bird with outspread wings is CHS
eled on the stone. This image, from
which the streamlet takes its name,
is called by the Indians, Piusa, that is
to say, the man-devouring bird, and
is thus named from the circumstance
that follows:
