:sa Cardinal %NeWman's detection moreBth than
a. halC-century ago and his passage from
the ranks Of the Church Of England to

widespread discussion followed him into
the pri esthood and the cardinalate. and
his course aroused bitter anita gonism on
many sides. Of this stormy time Dr..
Barry speaks at no great length, and
many other periods in the career of the
great ecclesiastic are but lightly touched

BLACK HAWK WAR SURVIVOR.
He Is Now In His Goth Year and Re-
sides in an Illinois Town.

ne 4s NOW In His goth Year and Re-
sides in an Illinois Town.
William H. Lee, of SCHOONER, Ill.,,
claims the distinction Of being the sole
survivor of the Black Hawk Indian
war of 1882. With the difficulty which
Iowa is experiencing to find traces of
its Mexican war survivors, it is hard
ly probable that any survivor of the
Indian war fourteen years earlier will
be found in this State. Mr.. Lee is now
in his Goth year.
The story of his life shows many
hardships, but the pioneers ON the
frontier half or three-quarters of
century ago were Injured to hardships.
Mr.. Lee was brought west from New
York when he was 3 years old. The
party made its way on two RATS and
a datboat constructed of logs. The
emigrants took all of their live stock
with them in their passage down the
Allegheny and Ohio rivers, landing at
Shawneetown, from there going to Sa
lem, and finally to Vandalia, at that
time only small village. At this
place Lee grew to young manhood I'M
der the hard lessons of frontier life,
assisting his father in his grain tread
mill and in saving lumber.
The story of his participation in the
Black Hawk war and subsequent life
is told by correspondent thus:
when the Sac and Fox, or, as it
was known, the Black Hawk, war
broke out in 1882, William III. Lee
was only 16 years of age, but he pos
sessed courage equal to the hardy
training he had received in his 1lli-
nois life. After the close of the war he
made three successful trips to New
Orleans by boat, which in those days
was considered a feat of unusual i'm
portance, each time taking large loads
Of grain. In 1850 he succumbed to the
California gold fever, making an over
land trip to that part of the country.
This trip was followed by two others.
On each of the trips large numbers of
cattle were taken along as an invest
ment. The party was attacked by In
dams on the first trip, but was sue
cessful in deafeating the red men. On
the second journey the party lost all
their live stock. The third trip was
thoroughly successful. Returning to
his farm in Illinois, Mr.. Lee has re-
manned there in active charge until
within the last few years, when he
turned the active management over to
other hands. None Of his children is
living"
The Black Hawk war was closely
associated with the early history of
Iowa. 1t was near Fort Madison that
Black Hawks followers rendezvouzed
to take up the war trail and to cross
the Mississippi; it was across the river
from the very northeastern point of
Iowa that the massacre, hardly to be
dignified by the name Of battle, Of Bad
Axe occurred and ended the short-lived
war; it was to Iowa that Black Hawk
and the few survivors returned when
the war was ended. The Black Hawk
war figures more prominently in Hi
nois history than in that of Iowa, but
it is an important chapter in the an
nails of this State.-Des Moines Regis
