WHY II Is Tumbledown Dick.

Mrs. George Wise gives the Democrat
an explanation of the name of the
mountain, Tumbledown Dick, in Peru,
regarding which correspondent of the
Democrat recently asked. When Mrs.
Wise was a girl she taught school near
the foot of the mountain, and a man of
20 who lived there told her the story.
The tradition is that an Indian who was
called Dick once chased deer over the
brow of the high perpendicular precipice
which is so striking q feature of the
mountain, and man and deer went down
to death together, as must any animal
which tumbles over this cliff. Others
who formerly lived in the vicinity of the
mountain have told Mrs. Wise that they
have heard the same tradition.

The Kaws took the liveliest interest
in the election. There are forty five
members of the tribe who are entitled
to vote. and twenty three of this NUM-
Der are fullbloods. Every one Of the
forty-fiye, without exception, voted.
